The Woodlanders (1887) was Thomas Hardy's elventh published novel and the one he claimed to like 'as a story, the best of all'. It is a story of wide appeal, having much to say on themes such as marriage and social class, and with a background revealing its author's profound knowledge and appreciation of many matters, particularly nature and country life.

The novel is supported by a comprehensive introduction, chronology and accompanying textual apparatus which allows the modern reader to trace the novel's evolution from composition to first publication and through several stages of revision in succeeding editions in the quarter of a century following its first publication.… (plus d'informations)
'Lorsque Grace Melbury revient dans le petit hameau boisé de Little Hintock, après ses études, son avenir est depuis longtemps tracé, déterminé par une promesse intérieure faite entre son père et celui de Giles Winterbone, décédé. Grace et Giles sont promis l'un à l'autre, ils se marieront. Mais Grace a grandi. Elle a découvert, hors des frontières de son village, une tout autre vie, d'autres rêves. Portée par l'ambition et ses nouvelles aspirations, elle tombe dans les bars du beau, irrésistible et troublant Dr Edred Fitzpiers. Mais ce chemin n'est-il pas à mille lieues de ses envies sincères, de ses affections profondes ?' Le résumé parle de lui-même : un roman dans la droite lignée de la littérature victorienne écrit dans un style sans faille où se côtoie comédie de mœurs et description de paysages magiques. ( )

But no, no, my love, I can never forget ée ; for you was a good man, and did good things!
It is the delicate, precarious balance which Hardy manages to hold between these conflicting and logically incompatible value-systems and knowledge-systems that makes The Woodlanders the powerful, absorbing and haunting work of fiction it is. (Introduction)
