In 1895 Hardy's final novel, the great tale of Judethe
Obscure, sent shock waves of indignationrolling across Victorian
England. Hardy haddared to write frankly about sexuality and
toindict the institutions of marriage, education,and religion. But
he had, in fact, created a deeplymoral work. The stonemason Jude
Fawley is adreamer; his is a tragedy of unfulfilled aims.With his
tantalizing cousin Sue Bridehead, thelast and most extraordinary of
Hardy's heroines,Jude takes on the world--and discovers,
tragically,its brutal indifference.The most powerful expression of
Hardy's philosophy,and a profound exploration of man's
essentialloneliness, Jude the Obscure is a great and beautifulbook.
"His style touches sublimity." --T. S. Eliot
