The Mayor of Casterbridge
$7.05 USD
N one of the great Victorian novels is more vivid and readable than the Mayor of Casterbridge. Set in the heart of Hardys Wessex, the partly real, partly dream country he founded on his native Dorset, it charts the rise and self induced downfall of a single man of character. The fast moving and ingeniously contrived narrative is Shakespearian in its tragic force, and features some of the authors most striking episodes and brilliant passages of description.
