Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Far from the Madding Crowd" by Thomas Hardy is a novel published in 1874. Set in rural Victorian England, it follows independent Bathsheba Everdene as she navigates complex relationships with three very different men: the faithful shepherd Gabriel Oak, the prosperous farmer William Boldwood, and the dashing Sergeant Frank Troy. Against the backdrop of farm life, the story explores themes of love, honour, and betrayal, as Bathsheba's choices lead to unexpected consequences that will test all involved.
