Review:
This early Hardy novel tells the story of a pastoral romance in the small Wessex village of Mellstock. Jamie Parker's friendly, resonant tone adds warmth to a surprisingly cheerful work by an author known for his dour stories. Parker's use of vocal variation in delivering Hardy's descriptive prose guides listeners smoothly through the plot. He also demonstrates mastery in his renderings of local country dialects. The conversations between the choir members, who include an interesting range of ages and characterisations, are especially well performed, and his singing of various songs also enlivens the text. Overall, Parker's charming performance adds much personality to this Hardy classic. --- D.M.W., AudioFile
About the Author:
Thomas Hardy (2 June 1840 11 January 1928) was an English novelist and poet. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, especially William Wordsworth. Charles Dickens was another important influence. Like Dickens, he was highly critical of much in Victorian society, though Hardy focused more on a declining rural society.
