L'histoire se déroule dans une région du Sud-Ouest de l'Angleterre, appelée Wessex. Jude Fawley, jeune orphelin campagnard, rêve de devenir aussi savant que son ancien maître d'école, Richard Phillotson. Il entreprend d'étudier seul le latin et le grec dans l'espoir de pouvoir entrer à l'université de Christminster, ville fictive inspirée d'Oxford. Pour gagner sa vie, il devient apprenti tailleur de pierres. Mais l'appel de la chair le détourne de manière inattendue de ses aspirations. Une jeune paysanne délurée, Arabella Donn a tôt fait de mettre la main sur Jude et de l'amener à l'épouser sous prétexte de préserver son honneur.

Autorenporträt

Thomas Hardy OM (2 June 1840 ¿ 11 January 1928) was an English novelist and poet. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, including the poetry of William Wordsworth. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society, especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain, such as those from his native South West England. While Hardy wrote poetry throughout his life and regarded himself primarily as a poet, his first collection was not published until 1898. Initially, he gained fame as the author of novels such as Far from the Madding Crowd (1874), The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1891), and Jude the Obscure (1895). During his lifetime, Hardy's poetry was acclaimed by younger poets (particularly the Georgians) who viewed him as a mentor. After his death his poems were lauded by Ezra Pound, W. H. Auden and Philip Larkin.
