Description & Specifications

The work includes the revisions made by Hardy to the "study copy" of the novel and to the marked editions of the printer as well as to the page proofs of the "sixpenny edition" of 1901. The resulting text includes revisions by Hardy that have never appeared in a modern edition. The novel is fully annotated and accompanied by Hardy's map of Wessex and a simplified map of the landscape of "Far from the Madding Crowd." The "Textual Notes" include a list of corrections, examples of alternative readings from the manuscript to the Wessex edition, and a discussion of the text selection. The history of the text of the novel is traced through excerpts from studies by Richard Little Purdy and Simon Gatrell. The "Backgrounds" include significant excerpts from Hardy's correspondence with Leslie Stephen and follow a selection of contemporary critiques. The 20th century "Criticism" is represented by Howard Babb, Roy Morrell, Alan Friedman, J. Hillis Miller, Michael Millgate, Penelope Vigar, Peter J. Casagrande, Ian Gregor, and Albert C. Schweik.
