'She was swayed into emotional opinions concerning the strange man
before her; new impulses of thought...entered into her with a
gnawing thrill.' Hardy's first published work, Desperate Remedies
moves the sensation novel into new territory. The anti-hero, Aeneas
Manston, as physically alluring as he is evil, even fascinates the
innocent Cytherea, though she is in love with another man. When he
cannot seduce her, Manston resorts to deception, blackmail, bigamy,
murder, and rape. Yet this compelling story also raises the great
questions underlying Hardy's major novels, which relate to the
injustice of the class system, the treatment of women, probability
and causality. This edition shows for the first time that the
sensation novel was always Hardy's natural medium. ABOUT THE
SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made
available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship,
providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable
features, including expert introductions by leading authorities,
helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for
further study, and much more.
