Summary:
Hardy distrusted the application of nineteenth-century empiricism to
history because he felt it marginalized important human elements. In
The Trumpet Major, the tale of a woman courted by three competing
suitors during the Napoleonic wars, he explores the subversive
effects of ordinary human desire and conflicting loyalties on
systematized versions of history. This edition restores Hardy's
original punctuation and removes the bowdlerisms forced upon the text
on its initial publication.
