A cidade fictícia de Casterbridge oferece uma imagem de Dorchester no século XIX. O romance conta a ascensão e queda de Michael Henchard, que, começando do nada depois de abandonar sua esposa e filha, ganha prosperidade e respeito e se reencontra com sua família apenas para perder tudo por sua própria teimosia e natureza vingativa.
