It is one of his series of Wessex novels. The novel was later classified by Hardy for the Wessex Edition of his works in the primary group of "Novels of Character and Environment". Yet despite it being regarded as one of Hardy's major novels, the novel is 'something of an anomaly', in comparison with the tragic depth of both its predecessor "The Mayor of Casterbridge" and its successor "Tess of the D'Urbervilles." The novel reflects common Hardy themes: a rustic, evocative setting, poorly chosen marriage partners, unrequited love, social class mobility, and an unhappy, or at best equivocal, ending. As with most his other works, opportunities for fulfilment and happiness are forsaken or delayed. "The Woodlanders" was widely praised. It was declared by the Saturday Review in April 1887 to be, "the best [novel] that Hardy has written", by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, "his loveliest if not his finest book", by William Lyon Phelps, "the most beautiful and most noble of Hardy's novels", and by A. Edward Newton, "one of the best novels of the last half century". The late nineteenth century English author George Gissing read the novel in March 1888 "with much delight" but felt that the "human part is --- painfully unsatisfactory". The novel remained a personal favourite of Hardy's. Newman Flower recounted that Hardy named it to him as his "favourite novel", and 25 years after its publication, Hardy wrote that, "On taking up "The Woodlanders" and reading it after many years, I like it as a story best of all."

The story of Jude the Obscure began as a serial story in Harper's New Monthly Magazine (first as The Simpletons, later Hearts Insurgent) at the end of November 1894, and was continued in monthly parts. It was then published in book form in 1895, although the publisher's page indicates 1896. This is Hardy's last major work of fiction, also "one of his most gloomily fatalistic." It's about the lives of individuals who are caught by situations beyond their control. The novel explores several social problems in Victorian England, including marriage. The novel's bold frankness about sex took the readers off guard, perhaps shocked them. Hardy also presents the ambivalent and conflicting roles of religion in his life. This is a very collectible book, certainly uncommon. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.

The Woodlanders is a novel by Thomas Hardy. It was serialised from May 1886 to April 1887 in Macmillan's Magazine and published in three volumes in 1887. It is one of his series of Wessex novels. The story takes place in a small woodland village called Little Hintock, and concerns the efforts of an honest woodsman, Giles Winterborne, to marry his childhood sweetheart, Grace Melbury. Although they have been informally betrothed for some time, her father has made financial sacrifices to give his adored only child a superior education and no longer considers Giles good enough for her. This is just one of a large number of Hardy firsts that I am selling on this site. Ref V V V 2.

The stories are contained by a frame narrative in which ten members of a club each tell one story about a noble dame in the 17th or 18th century. Hardy included this work with his "Romances and fantasies". All ten stories were published in serial magazines before Hardy collected them into book form. "The Duchess of Hamptonshire" and "The Honourable Laura" were written relatively early in Hardy's career, in 1878 and 1881 respectively. "The First Countess of Wessex" and "The Lady Penelope" were written in 1888-89. Hardy revised all four of these stories significantly before adding them to the collection in 1891. The remaining six stories were written in early 1890 and published in bowdlerised form in a special Christmas number of The Graphic in December 1890. Ref V V V 2.
