    So Donald and Lucetta, Henchard's old girlfriend got married, even though the daughter, Elizabeth, had hoped to marry him. Then all the scandal came to light about the sale of the wife and about the affair and Lucetta was so upset that she died. Meanwhile the sailor wasn't dead at all and he came back and looked for his daughter Elizabeth. And on, and on, and on, and on.

    I'm sure Hardy would be surprised to find out that people are still reading his soap opera. It would make a good serialized tv soap opera, and I would like to see the movie, but I wouldn't call it classic literature -- more like pulp fiction.

    A lot of it is boring. This book is a classic and should be read by anyone who has a love for words The actual story revolves around relationships in England during a time of very specified courting behavior that we would find amusing today It is not an easy beginning read, nor is it possible to get the flow of the book after a few chapters. Remember this was a time when vocabulary embellished every sentence, description, thought, movement. A mere kiss meant a bold statement of presumed matrimony The characters are all farmers and you learn what a difficult and rewarding life this could be for some one under their circumstances.

    There are the usual twists and turns in the book that keep you busy and reluctant to stop reading Bathsheba Everdene is a self-willed and independent young woman who inherits her uncle's farm. An assertive and confident nature in a woman is a novelty in the rural parish of Weatherbury and Bathsheba soon attracts three very different admirers.

    The only other book I've read by Thomas Hardy is Tess of the D'Urbervilles which I enjoyed because Tess was a well-rounded female character which I feel is a rare find in most books. Bathsheba too, is a well developed character and the reader gets to know her intimately as she comes of age in this sometimes funny and other times tragic love story. Hardy is prone to waffling especially when describing architecture or milieus so the reader must be patient.

    I wondered if there might be a digital copy of the Norton Critical Edition available, as I wanted to use some of its notes on the textual history of Far from the Madding Crowd.

    • Die Bildungstheoretische Didaktik nach Wolfgang Klafki (German Edition).
    • Your Mama!;
    • Product description;
    • Pan Macmillan's trade news has a new home.
    • Another Suitcase In Another Hall.

    A great novel-- Bathsheba Everdene is certainly one of the outstanding heroines of 19th century fiction-- but this is not the edition advertised, though it might be a good one for the general reader not seeking the various more academic notes. I enjoyed Thomas Hardy's writing style.

    He used many metaphors and descriptive passages that I read several times because they were beautiful and nteresting. Some were quite humorous. Definitely the type of book I prefer. That's why its a Classic. The language of years past is so superior to our modern day speech,I was thankful for the ability to just tap the many words I was not familiar with and find their definition.
