Far from the Madding Crowd

Summary

Far from the Madding Crowd is een roman uit 1874 van de Engelse schrijver Thomas Hardy. Het was zijn vierde roman en het werk wordt algemeen beschouwd als zijn beste tot op dat moment, hoewel Henry James de roman destijds fel bekritiseerde in een recensie voor 'The Nation': "...the work has been distended to its rather formidable dimensions by the infusion of a large amount of conversational and descriptive padding and the use of an ingeniously verbose and redundant style. It is inordinately diffuse, and, as a piece of narrative, singularly inartistic. The author has little sense of proportion, and almost none of composition (...) The only things we believe in are the sheep and the dogs". Dit boek gebruikt de raciale en andere scheldwoorden uit zijn tijd zoals ze geschreven zijn; de Boekgids legt deze woorden uit waar ze voorkomen.
