Jude the Obscure

Jude the Obscure, the last of Thomas Hardy's novels, began as a magazine serial and was first published in book form in 1895. The book was burned publicly by William Walsham How, Bishop of Wakefield, in that same year.[1] Its hero, Jude Fawley, is a working-class young man who dreams of becoming a scholar. The two other main characters are his earthy wife, Arabella, and his cousin, Sue. Themes include class, scholarship, religion, marriage, and the modernisation of thought and society. Hardy began making notes for the story in 1887.

Richard Burton reads the poetry of Thomas Hardy

Thomas Hardy, (2 June 1840 – 11 January 1928) was an English novelist and poet. While his works typically belong to the naturalist movement, several poems display elements of the previous romantic and enlightenment periods of literature, such as his fascination with the supernatural.

Hardy's poetry, first published in his fifties, has come to be as well-regarded as his novels and has had a significant influence over modern English poetry, especially after The Movement poets of the 1950s and 1960s cited Hardy as a major figure.

Belying Hardy's diversity, the book is divided into four very different sections: "Time Laughingstocks," a collection of bleakly tragic verses unflinchingly showing Hardy's signature pessimism; "More Love Lyrics," which is self-explanatory and contains some of Hardy's best writing on a subject he excelled at, though the depiction is unsurprisingly dark; "A Set of Country Songs," ballads and ballad-like poems set in Hardy's customary Wessex; and "Pieces Occasional and Various," a catch-all section with both personal and philosophical poems.
