In a fit of drunken anger, Michael Henchard sells his wife and baby daughter for
five guineas at a country fair. Over the course of the following years, he
manages to establish himself as a respected and prosperous pillar of the
community of Casterbridge, but behind his success there always lurk the shameful
secret of his past and a personality prone to self-destructive pride and temper.
Subtitled 'A Story of a Man of Character', Hardy's powerful and sympathetic
study of the heroic but deeply flawed Henchard is also an intensely dramatic
work, tragically played out against the vivid backdrop of a close-knit
Dorsetshire town.
