“This is one of the most underrated Victorian classics. It is sharp-witted, beautiful, and shockingly quite feminist…This takes place in nineteenth-century England near Bath, and the language is almost as beautiful as a countryside its set in.”

BookRiot

In a remote corner of early Victorian England, where traditional practices remain untouched by time, Bathsheba Everdene stands out as a beacon of feminine independence and self-reliance. However, when confronted with three suitors, among them the dashing Captain Troy, she shows a reckless capriciousness that threatens the stability of the whole community.

Published in 1874 and an immediate bestseller, Far from the Madding Crowd established Thomas Hardy as one of Britain’s foremost novelists.
