Jude The Obscure, an almost unbearably sad story about love and sexual desire mapped into the peculiar English matrixes of class and destiny in the Victorian 19th century, has come to be recognized as one of Hardy's most important novels. It tells the tragic story of Jude Fawley, a kid from the country whose aspirations to university scholarship are thwarted; his socially unacceptable love affair is also a disaster. This Everyman's Library edition of the Hardy classic contains a valuable introduction, select bibliography and provides a historical chronology to help the reader situate the novel's writing and publication in the context of its times.
