About this book

A sad tale of thwarted love, interrupted dreams, and life complications, Jude The Obscure is a chronicle of poverty and puts a focused eye on social conventions. The book caused such a shock when first published that Hardy gave up fiction entirely, writing only in poetry from that time on.
