Jude Fawley, the stonemason excluded not by his wits but by poverty from the world of Christminster privilege, finds fulfilment in his relationship with Sue Bridehead.
Both have left earlier marriages. Ironically, when tragedy tests their union it is Sue, the modern emancipated woman, who proves unequal to the challenge.
Hardy’s Jude the Obscure is a fearless exploration of sexual and social relationships and within it his prophetic critique of marriage scandalized the late Victorian establishment, marking the end of his career as a novelist.
