Praise for this book
The criticism is well chosen to give students an introduction to major elements in Hardy's last novel. I also appreciate the chronology of Hardy s life and the material on his revision process. Norton Critical Editions . . . offer me a chance to expand the world of my students.--David B. Merrell, Abilene Christian University"
The only text for the serious scholar. The Critical Editions are not only great from a student's point-of-view but from a teaching perspective as well.--Todd Matthew, Emma Willard School
