Hardy’s powerful novel of swift sexual passion and slow-burning loyalty centres on Bathsheba Everdene, a proud working woman whose life is complicated by three different men – respectable farmer Boldwood, seductive Sergeant Troy and devoted Gabriel – making her the object of scandal and betrayal.
Vividly portraying the superstitions and traditions of a small rural community, ?Far from the Madding Crowd shows the precarious position of a woman ?in a man’s world.
