In a moment of frustration and intoxication, a wayward farm-worker makes a life-altering decision by selling his wife and child to a stranger. This marks the beginning of The Mayor of Casterbridge, a poignant tale set against the backdrop of rural England in the mid-1800s. Hardy referred to this narrative as the story of a man of character, and the protagonist, Michael Henchard, stands out as one of the most compelling figures in English literature. Henchards complex personality and his tragic flaws mirror the essence of a Greek or Shakespearean hero—his fierce determination matched only by his profound failures. The novel explores the tensions between personal ambition, the shadows of the past, and the inexorable forces of circumstance within a transforming society. (Summary by Bruce Pirie)
