Launching a major new paperback series- Penguin English Library
Formerly a prize-winning architectural student, Thomas Hardy
(1840-1928) went on to become a prolific novelist and poet. Far
From the Madding Crowd is the second of Hardy's great series of
Wessex novels. The 'partly real, partly dream-country' of Wessex
forms the compellingly beautiful and threatening background against
which the struggles of passion so convincingly portrayed in Far
From the Madding Crowd are illuminated.
Hardy's novels Under the Greenwood Tree, The Return of the Native,
Two on a Tower, The Mayor of Casterbridge, Tess of the
D'Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure are also published in the
Penguin English Library.
