About This Item
New York. 1980. Signet/New American Library. Reprinted Signet Classic Paperback Edition. Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. 0451513940. Afterword by A. Alvarez. 416 pages. paperback. CE1394. Cover: Milton Glaser. keywords: Signet Classic Paperback. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Thomas Hardy's deterministic art achieves fanatic intensity and raw perfection in the char. acterization of Jude Fawley, an impoverished stonemason who aspires to the ministry. Throughout his agonized existence, the cloistered halls and facades of Christminster, where Jude would study, sadistically invite him to rid himself of ignorance. His failure to fulfill the opposite expectations of the two women he loves and the violent deaths of his children thwart him in his ideal and point his destruction. Concerned with the annihilation of innocence, Jude the Obscure is a raging indictment of Victorian society. The censure attending its appearance was almost without precedent in the history of English literature. D. H. Lawrence detected 'a constant revelation. , a great background, vital and vivid. This is the wonder of Hardy's. novels, and gives them their beauty.' inventory #38975 ISBN: 0451513940.
