Far from the Madding Crowd (Annotated)

by Thomas Hardy

Overview

Hardy's classic novel follows Bathsheba Everdene, a young woman with plenty of men trying to marry her. But she has a small problem: she doesn't love them. It's the story of love and scandal just as relevant today as it was over a hundred years ago.

Far from the Madding Crowd has long been considered one of Hardy's most successful and thematic works. This edition is annotated with a short biography about the life and times of Thomas Hardy. It also includes a plot summary.
