Thomas Hardy's novel Far from the Madding Crowd is published. In the novel, three suitors court farm owner Bathsheba Everdene, each showing a different face of love and human nature. Although the book ends happily, it contains many of the tragic elements, grim view of human nature, and pessimistic outlook that characterize Hardy's later masterworks, including Tess of the D'Urbervilles (1891) and Jude the Obscure (1895). |
