Summary

The publication of Far From the Madding Crowd in 1874 marked two significant moments in Thomas Hardy's literary career. His third published novel, Far From the Madding Crowd was his first real literary success, attracting the notice of critics and allowing him to give up his architectural career and follow his literary pursuits. The novel also featured the first use of Wessex as a setting, thus introducing readers to the semi-fictional region in which Hardy's most celebrated novels are set. Discover the tale of Bathsheba and Gabriel Oak in this early edition of the novel's first volume, and then follow up with the concluding second volume of this seminal Hardy work
