With an Introduction and Notes by Phillip Mallett, Senior Lecturer
in English, University of St Andrews. Educated beyond her station,
Grace Melbury returns to the woodland village of little Hintock and
cannot marry her intended, Giles Winterborne. Her alternative
choice proves disastrous, and in a moving tale that has vibrant
characters, many humorous moments and genuine pathos coupled with
tragic irony, Hardy eschews a happy ending. With characteristic
derision, he exposes the cruel indifference of the archaic legal
system off his day, and shows the tragic consequences of untimely
adherence to futile social and religious proprieties
