First edition, early printing of the last completed novel by Hardy. Octavo, original cloth with gilt titles to the spine, gilt tooling to the front panel, top edge gilt, tissue-guarded frontispiece, map of Wessex to the rear. In very good condition with a slight lean to the spine, bumping and rubbing, and a couple of small losses to the spine. Ownership plate to the front pastedown.
The most powerful expression of Hardy’s philosophy, and a profound exploration of man’s essential loneliness, Jude the Obscure is a great and beautiful book. “His style touches sublimity" (T. S. Eliot).
