What is Far from the Madding Crowd about?
Far From The Madding Crowd (1874) is English writer Thomas Hardy's fourth novel. The novel is the first to be set in Hardy's fictional county of Wessex in rural south west England. It deals in themes of love, honour and betrayal, against a backdrop of the seemingly idyllic, but often harsh, realities of a farming community in Victorian England. It describes the farmer Bathsheba Everdene, her life and relationships - especially with her lonely neighbour William Boldwood, the faithful shepherd Gabriel Oak, and the thriftless soldier Sergeant Troy. Hardy's growing taste for tragedy is also evident in the novel.
