Hardy's Dorset
The York Notes are an essential guide alongside the novel "Far From the Madding Crowd" by Hardy as they take the reader through the book chapter by chapter in giving commentary on the content and the meaning behind each section, including the source for the title. It reveals the profile of the characters and their day-to-day existence in Victorian England amidst the onset of the industrial revolution and it's effects on the rural community. The Tolpuddle Martyrs, an inspiration to the changes which the county of Dorset underwent and eventually the whole country as Hardy incorporates the tranquility and turmoil, the boldness and the fragility of the characters and events, in equal measures are is explained in York Notes
