About the book

Thomas Hardy's The Woodlanders is set in the isolated woodland community of Little Hintock and centres on Grace Melbury, whose father has invested heavily in giving her an education above her original social position. Grace becomes caught between the dependable woodsman Giles Winterborne and the sophisticated but unreliable Dr Edred Fitzpiers. Hardy uses their relationships to explore class, marriage, loyalty and the conflict between natural affection and social ambition, all against a richly described rural landscape.
