Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Woodlanders" by Thomas Hardy is a novel serialized from 1886 to 1887 and published in 1887. Set in the secluded woodland village of Little Hintock, it follows Giles Winterborne's attempts to marry his childhood sweetheart, Grace Melbury. When her ambitious father pushes her toward a handsome, well-born doctor instead, a web of misguided marriages, infidelities, and unrequited love unfolds. Hardy explores themes of social mobility, betrayed affections, and the consequences of forsaking true love for perceived advantage in this atmospheric Wessex tale.
