A timeless classic in a small, easy-to-read volume. First published in 1874, this was Hardy's fourth novel and his first major literary success. Set in his fictional Wessex, the story explores themes of love, honour, and betrayal. This edition follows the definitive later iterations of the text, which Hardy revised extensively for the 1895 and 1901 editions.

Condition Report
| Cover | Good Condition - Note: Boards are covered in bottle green paper with title in gold on the still very sound spine. There is minor bumping to all corners and bruising to both spine ends but overall it is really very good for a copy over seventy years old - No Dust Wrapper as issued |
| Overall | Good Condition - Note: In excellent condition internally with no student or prior owner notations. Endpapers are toned however with old tape marks on the paste downs. Copious printed notes are included at the rear plus a good map of Wessex preceding the title page. |
