Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Reprint. Paperback. The Macmillan Student's Hardy is specifically intended for those reading Hardy's novels and poems with no previous knowledge of his life or background. This edition is, therefore, well-suited for students at first examinations. The text of each novel has been carefully re-edited from the original Wessex edtion (1912). As well as an introduction and explanatory notes, each book includes a chronological list of the main events of Hardy's life, a glossary of place names, a map showing the setting of the novel, and eight pages of illustrations. Thomas Hardy's great love and understanding of the countryside in all its moods is amply evident in this delightful tale, which he called 'A Rural Painting of the Dutch School'. The romance of Dick Dewy and Fancy Day, which follows its course through the four seasons of one Wessex year, is counterpointed by the story of the rustic characters of Mellstock church choir - their carol-singing expedition, their struggles against the introduction of a new-fangled organ, their solomn deputation to the Vicar, and their contribution to the gaiety of all social occasions from Tranter Dewy's Christmas party to his son's wedding day. Illustrated. Owners name and address label inside cover. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. Academic, Scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
