Love, and the erratic heart, are at the centre of Hardy's 'woodland
story'. Set in the beautiful Blackmoor Vale, The Woodlanders concerns
the fortunes of Giles Winterborne, whose love for the well-to-do
Grace Melbury is challenged by the arrival of the dashing and
dissolute doctor, Edred Fitzpiers. When the mysterious Felice
Charmond further complicates the romantic entanglements, marital
choice and class mobility become inextricably linked. Hardy's
powerful novel depicts individuals in thrall to desire and the
natural law that motivates them.
