Far from the Madding Crowd is a novel by Thomas Hardy, published in 2020. The story follows Gabriel Oak, a young shepherd who falls in love with Bathsheba Everdene, a beautiful and proud woman. Gabriel Oak is a promising twenty-eight-year-old shepherd. With the savings of a frugal life, he leases a sheep farm. Then he falls in love with a newcomer, eight years younger, Bathsheba Everdene, a proud and beautiful young woman, somewhat vain, who comes to live with her aunt, Mrs. Hurst.
Thomas Hardy was an English novelist, poet and architect. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, including the poetry of William Wordsworth. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society, especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain such as those from his native South West England.
