Description
Hardy's last novel, Jude the Obscure caused a public furore when it was first published, with its fearless and challenging exploration of class and sexual relationships. Sexually innocent Jude Fawley is trapped into marriage by seductive Arabella Donn, but their union is an unhappy one and Arabella leaves him. Jude's welcome freedom allows him to pursue his obsession with his pretty cousin Sue Bridehead, a brilliant, charismatic free-thinker. When Jude and Sue decide to lead their lives outside marriage they bring down on themselves all the force of a repressive society.

In a safe world, he speaks to our animal side.’ EVENING STANDARD"
