About the book

This three-volume collection brings together works by Thomas Hardy that emphasise romance, imagination and the more unusual possibilities of human relationships. Although Hardy is often associated with tragic realism, these novels demonstrate the considerable variety within his fiction. Set largely within Hardy's fictional Wessex, the stories combine love, coincidence, social ambition and unexpected changes of fortune against richly described rural settings. Together they reveal Hardy's fascination with the influence of circumstance upon individual lives while presenting a somewhat different side of the author from his darker and more famous tragedies.
