In this 1891 collection of ten stories, divided into two parts, ‘Before Dinner’ and ‘After Dinner, ‘ Hardy returns to his invented county of Wessex for a behind-the-scenes look at the dynamics of country families and the women that hold them together: ‘a store of ladies, whose bright eyes rain influence.’

Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was among the greatest English novelists of his time. A naturalist infused with romanticism and enlightenment thinking, along with a flair for the supernatural, Hardy focused on class divisions and social norms. While his poetry is greatly admired, he is famed for novels like Tess of the d’Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure.
