WILD RELEASE NOTES:
This is one I have been interested in for quite some time, since it's one of the English "classics" featured in Jasper Fforde's scifi/fantasy novels, and one of the few that even I haven't read yet - so it has a good chance of landing on Mount TBR before I'll re-release it for one of the upcoming challenges... :)

Hardy's use of language here was very high-flown. It reminded me a lot of the more serious passages in J.K.Jerome's Three Men in a Boat. But J. K. Jerome mixes up his high-flown language with laughing, mostly at himself. While Hardy's writing was not unpleasant, without Jerome's occasional lashings of humour it became wearisome over time.
On the other hand there were some pleasurable bits, the reaction of John Durbyfield to news of his famous ancestry was amusing, the portrayl of the pleasures of milking in the spring contrasted with the misery of farm work in the winter. And I know it was a very ground-breaking work for its time. Just, overall, not for me.
