Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy

Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy

Jude Fawley dreams of academic scholarship despite his working-class origins, and his life becomes a sustained tragedy of thwarted ambition and doomed love, particularly his relationship with his free-thinking cousin Sue, whose unconventional views on marriage and religion scandalise Victorian society and devastate them both.

Hardy's final novel provoked such outrage on publication for its critique of marriage and organised religion that the backlash contributed to his decision to abandon novel writing entirely afterward, and its unrelentingly bleak vision of social convention crushing individual aspiration remains genuinely devastating.

Hardy's final and most controversial novel, a devastating critique of Victorian social convention.
