About the book

Thomas Hardy's The Trumpet-Major is a historical novel set in rural Wessex during the Napoleonic Wars. Against the background of fears of a French invasion, the story follows Anne Garland and the three very different men who seek her affection. Among them is the honourable and devoted John Loveday, a trumpet-major in the British army, whose quiet loyalty contrasts with the more impulsive behaviour of those around him. Hardy combines romance, military history and rural life in a story of love, duty and sacrifice.
