Hardy's last novel is the story of a young working man destroyed by the partial fulfilment of his dreams. He is torn between his desires for the life of the body and the life of the mind, as represented by two women - the vulgar but lustrous Arabella and the refined and frigid Sue.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
After disastrous first marriages, Jude Fawley and Sue Bridehead find love which Sue is reluctant to tarnish by marriage, a decision for which society cruelly marginalises them. Through the doomed trajectory of their lives, Hardy sympathetically explores the fault lines in Victorian attitudes to marriage and in the couple's vain attempts to sustain their 'highest and purest love'. --Rachel Redford, The Oldie
