Thomas Hardy's powerful Victorian tragedy | The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886) opens with one of the most shocking scenes in English fiction: Michael Henchard drunkenly selling his wife and daughter at a fairground auction. The novel follows his subsequent rise to become Mayor of Casterbridge and the inevitable haunting of his past as his rival, the astute Scotsman Donald Farfrae, threatens everything he has built. A deeply moving exploration of pride, fate and the destructive power of character. This Wordsworth Classics edition is complete and unabridged.
