Inhalt:
The story involves love, loyalty, death and betrayal and all this is delivered to us in Hardys most eloquent prose. Far from the Madding Crowd (1874) is Thomas Hardys fourth novel and offers in ample measure the details of English rural life that Hardy so relished. Hardys growing taste for tragedy is also evident in the novel. It first appeared, anonymously, as a monthly magazine serial, where it gained a wide readership and critical acclaim. According to Virginia Woolf, 'The subject was right; the method was right; the poet and the countryman, the sensual man, the sombre reflective man, the man of learning, all enlisted to produce a book which, must hold its place among the great English novels.' The book is often regarded as an early piece of feminist literature, since it features an independent woman with the courage to defy convention by running a farm herself. Although Bathshebas passionate nature leads her into serious errors of judgment, Hardy endows her with sufficient resilience, intelligence, and good luck to overcome her youthful folly.
