Between its frank portrayals of sexuality and its indictments of marriage, religion, and England's class system, the novel offended a broad swath of readers. Its heated reception led the embittered author to renounce fiction, turning his considerable talents ever afterward to writing poetry. Hardy's last novel depicts a changing world, where a poor stonemason can aspire to a university education and a higher place in society - but where in reality such dreams remain unattainable. Thwarted at every turn, Jude Hawley abandons his hopes, is trapped into an unwise marriage, and pursues a doomed relationship with his free-spirited cousin, Sue Bridehead. The lovers find themselves equally incapable of living within the conventions of their era and of transcending its legal and moral strictures. Hailed by modern critics as a pioneering work of feminism and socialist thought, Hardy's tragic parable continues to resonate with readers." --from Amazon.com 650 0 $a Stonemasons $v Fiction 650 0 $a Illegitimate children $v Fiction 650 0 $a Children $x Death $v Fiction 650 0 $a Unmarried couples $v Fiction 650 0 $a Adultery $v Fiction 651 0 $a Wessex (England) $v Fiction 655 7 $a Didactic fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Love stories. $2 gsafd 830 0 $a Dover thrift editions 941 $a 3 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305033646.0 952 $l TKPE492 $d 20211118015109.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20170106011752.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4121C5BC989711E4B97AA57FDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
