Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy 1840 - 1928 Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy (1840 - 1928) Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy (1840 - 1928) Type of Work: Characterization and psychological novel Setting "Wessex," England; 1869 to 1873 Principal Characters Bathsheba Everdene, a capricious young lady Gabriel Oak, a dependable shepherd Mr. Boldwood, a staid, wealthy farmer Sergeant Frank Troy, an unscrupulous soldier Fannie Robin, Troy's secret lover Story Overveiw Gabriel Oak quietly scrutinized his new neighbor from across the hedge. Bathsheba Everdene appeared to be an overly-proud woman, but he found himself attracted by her. Oak's ability and initiative had taken him from humble origins to become a respected shepherd with sheep of his own. Now he prepared himself with care to meet Miss Everdene, then made his way to the house of her aunt to propose marriage. Bathsheba, flattered by the farmer's offer, flamed his hopes for a while, but soon announced that she could not marry, nor love, Gabriel. Before long, Bathsheba unexplainably left the area. Then fate dealt Gabriel another blow: his dog ran his flock of sheep over a cliff, killing them all. "Thank God I am not married," he mused. "What would she have done in the poverty now coming to me?"

The son of a stonemason, he derived a love of music from his father and a devotion to literature from his mother. Hardy could not afford to pursue a scholarly career as he wished and was apprenticed to John Hicks, a local church architect. He continued, however, to study the Greek and Latin classics. From 1862 to 1867 he served as assistant to Arthur Blomfield, a London architect; ill health forced him to return to Dorset, where he worked for Hicks and his successor until 1874. Despite his employment, Hardy was writing continually during this period of his life. Such early novels as Desperate Remedies (1871) and A Pair of Blue Eyes (1873) met with small success and may be considered formative works. After the appearance of

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) English poet and regional novelist, whose works depict the imaginary county "Wessex" (=Dorset). Hardy's career as writer spanned over fifty years. His earliest books appeared when Anthony Trollope (1815-82) wrote his Palliser series, and he published poetry in the decade of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land. Hardy's work reflected his stoical pessimism and sense of tragedy in human life. "Critics can never be made to understand that that the failure may be greater than the success... To have the strength to roll a stone weighting a hundredweight to the top of a mountain is a success, and to have the strength to roll a stone of then hundredweight only halfway up that mount is a failure. But the latter is two or three times as strong a deed." (Hardy in his diary, 1907) Thomas Hardy's own life wasn't similar to his stories. He was born on the Egdon Heath, in Dorset, near Dorchester. His father was a master mason and building contractor. Hardy's mother, whose tastes included Latin poets and French romances, provided for his education. After schooling in Dorchester Hardy was apprenticed to an architect. He worked in an office, which specialized in restoration of churches. In 1874 Hardy married Emma Lavinia Gifford, for whom he wrote 40 years later, after her death, a group of poems known as VETERIS VESTIGIAE FLAMMAE (Vestiges of an Old Flame).

Far From the Madding Crowd By Thomas Hardy QUOTATION: It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs. QUOTATION: It is safer to accept any chance that offers itself, and extemporize a procedure to fit it, than to get a good plan matured, and wait for a chance of using it. QUOTATION: The only superiority in women that is tolerable to the rival sex is, as a rule, that of the unconscious kind; but a superiority which recognizes itself may sometimes please by suggesting possibilities of capture to the subordinated man. QUOTATION: A resolution to avoid an evil is seldom framed till the evil is so far advanced as to make avoidance impossible.

His father was a master mason and a building contractor. Hardy's mother, whose tastes included Latin poems and French romances, provided for his education. After schooling in Dorchester, Hardy was apprenticed to an architect. He worked in an office, which specialized in restoration of churches. In 1874 Hardy married Emma Lavinia Gifford, for whom 40 years later, after her death, he wrote a series of poems known as Veteris Vestigiae Flammae (Vestiges of an Old Flame). At the age of 22, Hardy moved to London and started to write poems, which idealized the rural life. He was an assistant in the architectural firm of Arthur Blomfield, visited art galleries, attended evening classes in French at King's College, enjoyed Shakespeare and opera, and read works of Charles Darwin, Herbert Spencer, and John Stuart Mills, whose positivism influenced him deeply. In 1867, Hardy left London for the family home in Dorset, and resumed work briefly with Hicks in Dorchester. Hardy continued his architectural work, but he started to consider literature as his "true vocation." Unable to find a public for his poetry and following the advice of novelist George Meredith, Hardy decided to write novels. His first novel

Thomas Hardy Thomas hardy was born in Upper Brockhampton, near Dorchester, England. He was educated locally and at 16 was articled to an architect. At 22 he went to London to train as an architect, and returned home in 1867 to persue his chosen profession. But he had already begon his first novel The Poor Man and the Lady , which was never published. There is speculation that around this time he met and fell in love with Tryphena Sparks, to whom he was related. The nature of their relationship is unclear but 1868 he was sent to St. Juliot, Cornwell, where he met Emma Gifford, whom he married in 1874. This marriage was far from idyllic, but ,ironically, when Emma died in 1912 Hardy was moved to write some of the most moving love poems in the English language. Among his best novels are The return of the Native The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886) and Tess of the D’Urbervilles (1891). After the critical reception of Tess of the D’Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure (1895), which were publicly attacked for their subject matter and portrayal of sexual relationships, Hardy turned his attention to poetry, which he had always regarded as superior to fiction.
