Set in 19th-century England, The Mayor of Casterbridge centers on Michael Henchard, a man whose impulsive decision in a moment of drunken despair sets the course for a lifetime of regret. Years later, having risen to the prestigious position of Mayor in the rural town of Casterbridge, Henchard’s past resurfaces, threatening his carefully constructed life. As old secrets unravel and rivalries intensify, he is forced to confront the consequences of his actions.
With richly drawn characters and unflinching exploration of human fallibility, Hardy offers a poignant meditation on pride, fate, redemption and the tragic weight of personal responsibility. A masterpiece of Victorian literature, The Mayor of Casterbridge is both a character study and a moral cautionary tale that remains strikingly relevant today.
Author Description:
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was an English novelist, poet, and short story writer, best known for his exploration of rural life in Victorian England. Born in Dorset, his works reflect his deep connection to the landscapes and social structures of his native southwest. His early career was rooted in architecture, but he gained prominence as a writer with novels such as Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Far from the Madding Crowd, and Jude the Obscure. These works are marked by a poignant realism and a focus on themes like class, fate, and the harsh realities of life. His writing often portrays the inescapable forces of nature and society that shape human lives, earning him a reputation as a master of tragic narrative. In his later years, he turned more towards poetry, producing a significant body of work that reflects on themes of loss, time, and existential questioning. His influence remains profound in both literature and popular culture.
