Introduction and Notes by Norman Vance, Professor of English,
University of Sussex. Far from the Madding Crowd is perhaps the
most pastoral of Hardy's Wessex novels. It tells the story of the
young farmer Gabriel Oak and his love for and pursuit of the
elusive Bathsheba Everdene, whose wayward nature leads her to both
tragedy and true love. It tells of the dashing Sergeant Troy whose
rakish philosophy of life was '...the past was yesterday; never,
the day after', and lastly, of the introverted and reclusive
gentleman farmer, Mr Boldwood, whose love fills him with '...a
fearful sense of exposure', when he first sets eyes on Bathsheba.
The background of this tale is the Wessex countryside in all its
moods, contriving to make it one of the most English of great
English novels.
