Description
Hardy, Thomas. Jude the Obscure. Introduction by Terry Eagleton. With Notes by P.N. Furbank. New York, St. Martin's Press, Inc., 1977. 11 x 18cm. 445 pages. Original softcover. Minor signs of external wear, text annotations and underlining throughout, otherwise very good condition. From the library of swiss - american - irish poet Chuck Kruger. [New Wessex Edition]. In 1895 Hardy's final novel, the great tale of Jude The Obscure, sent shockwaves of indignation rolling across Victorian England. Hardy had dared to write frankly about sexuality and to indict the institutions of marriage, education, and religion. But he had, in fact, created a deeply moral work. The stonemason Jude Fawley is a dreamer; his is a tragedy of unfulfilled aims. With his tantalizing cousin Sue Bridehead, the last 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 essential loneliness, Jude The Obscure is a great and beautiful book. [St. Martin's Press]
