Desperate Remedies by Thomas Hardy
Desperate Remedies is a novel by Thomas Hardy, published anonymously by Tinsley Brothers in 1871. Described by Hardy as a tale of "mystery, entanglement, surprise and moral obliquity", his first published novel violated the literary decorum of its day with blackmail, murder, and romance. It relates the story of Cytherea, a maid to the eccentric arch-intriguer Miss Aldclyffe, and the man she loves, Edward Springrove. Upon discovering that Edward is already engaged, Cytherea comes under the influence of Miss Aldclyffe's fascinating, manipulative steward, Manston.

Review This book is challenging and interesting. For teachers seeking to open up the subject, and for students looking to expand their horizons, it is to be most strongly recommended. -- Business Law Review, Dec 1995.
This book provides a selection of primary source materials on contract, tort and unjust enrichment. The sections on, in particular, debt, damages, specific performance and injunctions have been expanded and further sections on declaration and in rem remedies have been added. This new edition is a comprehensive compilation of sources on methodology and reasoning in the common law of obligations. The emphasis here is on problem solving. Furthermore, in approaching the common law with an awareness of the UKs membership of the EU and the EUs enthusiasm for harmonising aspects of private law, this new edition includes more European material and expanded notes and commentary on the civilian law of obligations. The book will therefore also provide a structure for a comparative and European approach to the law of obligations and remedies.
