Under the Greenwood Tree (Wordsworth Classics)Under the Greenwood

This title includes introduction and notes by Dr Claire Seymour, University of Kent at Canterbury. "Under the Greenwood Tree" is Hardy's most bright, confident and optimistic novel. This delightful portrayal of a picturesque rural society, tinged with gentle humour and quiet irony, established Hardy as a writer. However, the novel is not merely a charming rural idyll.
