Jude the Obscure Thomas Hardy
Jude Fawley is intelligent, interested but poor and uneducated. Transfixed by his hope of attending "Christminster", he instead finds himself trapped by his class and his relationships with two women - Arabella Donn, whom he marries, and Sue Bridehead, whom he loves. The text is here accompanied by an introduction, notes, text summary, selected criticism and chronology of Hardy's life and times.
