Description
'Far from the Madding Crowd' centres on Bathsheba Everdene, an independent young woman who inherits a farm in rural Wessex and becomes its capable manager. Her life becomes entangled with three very different men: the devoted shepherd Gabriel Oak, the impulsive Sergeant Frank Troy and the prosperous farmer William Boldwood. Their competing affections lead to jealousy, betrayal and tragedy against the backdrop of the changing agricultural world. First published in 1874, the novel combines romance and drama with Hardy's characteristic exploration of fate, human error, social expectations and the harsh uncertainties of rural life.
