(Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed)Thomas Hardy’s almost supernatural
insight into the course of wayward lives, his instinctive feeling for
the beauty of the rural landscape, and his power to invest that
landscape with moral significance all came together in an utterly
fluent way in The Mayor of Casterbridge. A classically shaped story
about the rise and fall of the brooding and sometimes brutal Michael
Henchard in the harsh world of nineteenth-century rural England, The
Mayor of Casterbridge is an emblematic product of Hardy’s
maturity–vigorous, forceful, and unclouded by illusions.
