Far from the Madding Crowd is the most pastoral of Hardy's Wessex novels. It tells of the young farmer Gabriel Oak and his pursuit of the elusive Bathsheba Everdene, whose wayward nature leads her to both tragedy and true love.
The background to this compelling story is the majesty of the Wessex countryside in all its moods, making it one of the most English of great English novels.

I did a course on 19th century literature and this was one of the set books. This is what I had to say then.
Have struggled through a couple of other books for my course (especially Dickens) so I am pleased to say I enjoyed this. I even found it quite exciting later on and I had to get off my bus five pages from the end - not allowed!
