Publisher's Synopsis
Thomas Hardy was one of the greatest British authors during the Victorian era. Hardy was highly critical of Victorian culture and also focused on the declining rural society. Though Hardy was a great poet it is his classic novels, such as Far from the Madding Crowd, Tess of the d'Urbervilles, and Jude the Obscure, that he is best known for. The Romantic Adventures of a Milkmaid, published in 1896, is a short novel which is notable for its great satire of courtship.
