H. Lawrence called \"the real stuff of tragedy.\" The heath's changing face mirrors the fortunes of the farmers, inn-keepers, sons, mothers, and lovers who populate the novel. The \"native\" is Clym Yeobright, who comes home from a cosmopolitan life in Paris. He; his cousin Thomasin; her fianc�, Damon Wildeve; and the willful Eustacia Vye are the protagonists in a tale of doomed love, passion, alienation, and melancholy as Hardy brilliantly explores that theme so familiar throughout his fiction: the diabolical role of chance in determining the course of a life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Alexander Theroux asserts in his Introduction, Hardy was \"committed to the deep expression of [nature's] ironic chaos and strange apathy, even hostility, toward man.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThomas Hardy was born on June 2, 1840, in a thatched-roof cottage in upper Bockhampton, Dorset, England, a prophetic birthplace that lay in the center of 'Wessex, ' the fictional region of southwest England which would serve as the backdrop for his novels. The eldest son of a prosperous builder and stonemason, Hardy was educated at the village school and apprenticed at the age of sixteen to local architect and church restorer John Hicks. In 1862 he went to London to pursue his architectural career; he also began writing at this time. Hardy returned to Dorset in 1867 to become assistant to John Hicks and wrote his first novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Poor Man and the Lady, \u003c\/i\u003e of which only fragments remain. Although George Meredith, who was reader for Chapman \u0026amp; Hall publishers, advised against its publication, he encouraged Hardy to keep writing, preferably a story with a more complicated plot. Over the next several years he produced three more novels: \u003ci\u003eDesperate Remedies\u003c\/i\u003e (1871) and \u003ci\u003eUnder the Greenwood Tree\u003c\/i\u003e (1872) were published anonymously, but \u003ci\u003eA Pair of Blue Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e (1873) bore the author's name. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn November 1872, Leslie Stephen, the distinguished critic and editor, wrote to Hardy inviting him to contribute a novel for serialization in the Cornhill Magazine, a prestigious monthly that had published the work of such established writers as Anthony Trollope. Hardy accepted and in his letter to Stephen added that 'the chief characters would probably be a young woman-farmer, a shepherd, and a sergeant of cavalry.' He wrote \u003ci\u003eFar from the Madding Crowd\u003c\/i\u003e both in and out of doors at Bockhamptom as if possessed. 'Occasionally without a scrap of paper at the very moment when [I] felt volumes . . . [I] would use large dead leaves, white chips left by the woodcutters, or pieces of stone or slate that came to hand, ' Hardy later recalled. Published anonymously in 1874, \u003ci\u003eFar from the Madding Crowd\u003c\/i\u003e sold out in just over two months and marked the turning point in Hardy's literary career. As Virginia Woolf later noted: 'The subject was right; the method was right; the poet and the countryman, the sensual man, the sombre reflective man, the man of learning, all enlisted to produce a book which, however fashions may chop and change, must hold its place among the great English novels.' \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe success of \u003ci\u003eFar from the Madding Crowd\u003c\/i\u003e in 1874 encouraged Hardy to abandon architecture and devote himself entirely to the craft of fiction. His next novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Hand of Ethelberta\u003c\/i\u003e (1876), also appeared in the Cornhill Magazine but did not repeat the success of its predecessor. In 1874 Hardy married Emma Lavinia Gifford, and the couple soon settled in an idyllic cottage overlooking the Dorset Stour, at Sturminster Newton, where Hardy wrote \u003ci\u003eThe Return of the Native\u003c\/i\u003e (1878). In 1878 he moved to London. Although he became a well-known figure in literary circles and was considered a catch for hostesses, Hardy wrote three disappointing 'minor' novels during his years there: \u003ci\u003eThe Trumpet-Major\u003c\/i\u003e (1880), \u003ci\u003eA Laodicean\u003c\/i\u003e (1881), and \u003ci\u003eTwo on a Tower\u003c\/i\u003e (1882). This fallow period in his career seemed to lift in 1885 with his return to Dorset to live at Max Gate. Over the next three years he published \u003ci\u003eThe Mayor of Casterbridge\u003c\/i\u003e (1886), which many regard as his greatest tragic novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Woodlanders\u003c\/i\u003e (1887), and his first collection of short stories, \u003ci\u003eWessex Tales\u003c\/i\u003e (1888). In 1891 \u003ci\u003eTess of the d'Urbervilles\u003c\/i\u003e appeared, and in 1895 Hardy's final novel, \u003ci\u003eJude the Obscure, \u003c\/i\u003e came out. The book sent shock waves of indignation rolling across Victorian England. It was denounced as pornography and subjected the author to an avalanche of abuse. Hardy's disgust at the public's reaction led him to announce in 1896 that he would never again write fiction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDuring the remaining years of his life, Hardy devoted himself to poetry, publishing his first book of verse, \u003ci\u003eWessex Poems, \u003c\/i\u003e in 1898. A second collection, Poems of the Past and Present, appeared in 1901. Over the next five years Hardy wrote \u003ci\u003eThe Dynasts, \u003c\/i\u003e an epic drama about the Napoleonic War. In 1912 he made a final revision of his novels for the authoritative \u003ci\u003eWessex Editions.\u003c\/i\u003e Hardy's wife died suddenly the same year. In February 1914 he married his longtime secretary, Florence Emily Dugdale. Over the next decade Hardy continued to write poetry and to work on his autobiography, The Early Life of Thomas Hardy, which was supposedly authored by his second wife and published posthumously. Thomas Hardy died in Dorset on January 11, 1928. His heart was buried in the Wessex countryside in the parish churchyard at Stinsford; his ashes were placed next to those of Charles Dickens in the Poets' Corner of Westminster Abbey.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House LLC (No Starch)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50323937132818,"sku":"9780375757181","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_ede8fbec-5cc0-47cd-8cf0-79bc89ae5804.jpg?v=1748519407"},{"product_id":"emma-by-jane-austen-fiction-classics-romance-historical-literary-9780809594917","title":"Emma by Jane Austen, Fiction, Classics, Romance, Historical, Literary","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSixteen years had Miss Taylor been in Mr. Woodhouse's family, less as a governess than a friend, very fond of both daughters, but particularly of Emma. \u003c\/strong\u003eBetween THEM it was more the intimacy of sisters.

Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London. Set in England in the early 19th century, Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Mr and Mrs Bennet's five unmarried daughters after the rich and eligible Mr Bingley and his status-conscious friend, Mr Darcy, have moved into their neighbourhood. While Bingley takes an immediate liking to the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Darcy has difficulty adapting to local society and repeatedly clashes with the second-eldest Bennet daughter, Elizabeth. Pride and Prejudice retains a fascination for modern readers, continuing near the top of lists of \"most loved books.\" It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature, selling over 20 million copies, and receives considerable attention from literary scholars.

A precocious child, at 10 years old Frances was already showing a talent for 'scribbling' (as she called her writing). Her father encouraged her work as a hobby, but set his face against any publication of her work, calling it \"unladylike\". Burney acquiesced, and destroyed her first novel, but with maturity her confidence grew and (albeit it anonymously) she eventually published her novel 'Evelina' in 1778, to widespread critical acclaim, with such literary luminaries as Dr. Johnson, David Garrick and Edmund Burke praising her wit and biting satire. Such was the demand for 'Evelina', it very quickly went through four editions, and has remained popular ever since. A multi-layered novel of manners, Burney uses the eponymous heroine's honesty, innocence, and bucolic world-view as a mirror in which to reveal the shallow, jejune world of London's upper classes, through which Evelina navigates an uneven passage to maturity and romance. The work is by turns an elegant plea against female repression, a satirical expose of London's 18th century elite, a valuable sociological record of etiquette and social mores, and a heart-warming tale of true love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Aziloth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50363989262610,"sku":"9781909735927","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_5c99c316-a6b9-45c1-9042-00f6654e249c.jpg?v=1728421681"},{"product_id":"wuthering-heights-9781945644313","title":"Wuthering Heights","description":"\u003cp\u003eEmily Brontë's only novel, published the year before her death at age 30.

The story revolves around young Mr Nickleby, whose responsibility it is to support his sister and mother following the demise of his father. A classic example of Dickens's ironic social satire that will not disappoint fans of his much-loved work. Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812-1870) was an English writer and social critic famous for having created some of the world's most well-known fictional characters. His works became unprecedentedly popular during his life, and today he is commonly regarded as the greatest Victorian-era novelist. Although perhaps better known for such works as \"Great Expectations\" or \"A Christmas Carol\", Dickens first gained success with the 1836 serial publication of \"The Pickwick Papers\", which turned him almost overnight into an international literary celebrity thanks to his humour, satire, and astute observations concerning society and character. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an introductory chapter from \"Appreciations and Criticisms of the Works of Charles Dickens\" by G. K.

The author's witty and astute observations elevate her tales of parties, gossip, and romance into matters of captivating drama, offering an evocative portrait of everyday life in the towns and countryside of Regency England. Austen's premature death at the age of forty-two curtailed her legacy, and her devotees have eagerly read and re-read her handful of books.

As is common with James' work a contrast is drawn between the cultural and social differences between America and Europe through the portrayal of American expatriates in Europe. The titular lady in question is that of Isabel Archer, a spirited young American woman who inherits a large sum of money and subsequently falls prey to the machinations of individuals trying to gain control of her fortune. The fiercely independent Isabel is set upon fully enjoying her fortune by travelling the European continent. While she had previously rejected two marriage proposals she is taken with an American expatriate, Gilbert Osmond, while visiting Florence, and decides to accept his matrimonial offer. Marital bliss quickly turns to unhappiness when the two settle in Rome and Isabel realizes Gilbert's overwhelming egotism and lack of genuine affection for her.

Born the seventh child of the rector of Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775, she was educated mainly at home. At an early age she began writing sketches and satires of popular novels for her family's entertainment. As a clergyman's daughter from a well-connected family, she had an ample opportunity to study the habits of the middle class, the gentry, and the aristocracy. At twenty-one, she began a novel called \"The First Impressions\" an early version of \u003cb\u003ePride and Prejudice\u003c\/b\u003e. In 1801, on her father's retirement, the family moved to the fashionable resort of Bath. Two years later she sold the first version of \u003cb\u003eNorthanger Abby\u003c\/b\u003e to a London publisher, but the first of her novels to appear was \u003cb\u003eSense and Sensibility\u003c\/b\u003e, published at her own expense in 1811. It was followed by \u003cb\u003ePride and Prejudice \u003c\/b\u003e(1813), \u003cb\u003eMansfield Park \u003c\/b\u003e(1814), and \u003cb\u003eEmma \u003c\/b\u003e(1815). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After her father died in 1805, the family first moved to Southampton then to Chawton Cottage in Hampshire. Despite this relative retirement, Jane Austen was still in touch with a wider world, mainly through her brothers; one had become a very rich country gentleman, another a London banker, and two were naval officers. Though her many novels were published anonymously, she had many early and devoted readers, among them the Prince Regent and Sir Walter Scott. In 1816, in declining health, Austen wrote \u003cb\u003ePersuasion \u003c\/b\u003eand revised \u003cb\u003eNorthanger Abby\u003c\/b\u003e, Her last work, \u003ci\u003eSandition\u003c\/i\u003e, was left unfinished at her death on July 18, 1817. She was buried in Winchester Cathedral. Austen's identity as an author was announced to the world posthumously by her brother Henry, who supervised the publication of \u003cb\u003eNorthanger Abby\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ePersuasion\u003c\/b\u003e in 1818.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Everyman's Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50407592526098,"sku":"9780679405429","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_3ff2a57f-0f06-4f1c-a7e8-7def083ca428.jpg?v=1774449138"}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/collections\/classics-british-romance.oembed","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
