This 1882 Wessex romance follows the tender story of two star-crossed lovers: Lady Constantine, who is stuck in a miserable marriage, and Swithin St. Cleeve, a young astronomer. Hardy’s aim was to “set the emotional history of two infinitesimal lives against the stupendous background of the stellar universe.”
About the author
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.
