Tess of the D’Urbervilles
Edited with Notes by Tim Dolin and an

sense of tragedy and a sharp critique of
social hypocrisy. This edition of Hardy’s
most moving and poetic novel includes

illustrations, and episodes censored from
the Graphic periodical version.

Under the Greenwood Tree
Edited with an Introduction and
Notes by Tim Dolin, with a Preface by
Patricia Ingham
Hardy’s one and only rural idyll appears
to be pastoral romance at its most sunlit.
Yet, as Dolin shows in his Introduction,
there is a darker side to this paradise, seen
particularly in the conflicts arising over
anachronistic customs and rituals.

The Withered Arm and Other Stories
Edited with an Introduction by
Kristen Brady
These nine short stories constitute some of
Hardy’s finest early work and foreshadow
his later novels in their controversial
sexual politics, their refusal of romantic
structures, and their elegiac pursuit of
past, lost loves.

The Woodlanders
Edited with an Introduction and Notes by
Patricia Ingham
In this portrait of four people caught
up in a web of intense, often unrequited
passion, Hardy explores the complexity of
sexual feelings and the roles of social class,
gender, and evolutionary survival.
