Study Guide to Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy
About This Book
A comprehensive study guide offering in-depth explanation, essay, and test prep for Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure, the last novel written by Hardy before he moved his concentration to poetry. As a satirical novel of the late nineteenth century, the themes of marriage and religion were perceived negatively.
