Jude the Obscure
by Thomas Hardy
Upon its first appearance in 1895, Jude the Obscure shocked Victorian critics and readers with a frank depiction of sexuality and an unbridled indictment of marriage, education, and religion, reportedly causing one Anglican bishop to order the book publicly burned. This is the story of Jude Fawley and his struggle to rise from his station as a stonemason to that of a scholar at Christminster. Jude the Obscure explore's man's essential lonliness and remains one of Hardy's most widely read novels.
