About
Hardy's third novel and the first to be published under his own name; a haunting work with autobiographical elements and a splendidly evoked Cornish setting which adds much to the drama, perhaps most notably when the heroine removes her undergarments to fashion a rope in order to rescue her lover who has fallen from a cliff-top. A scene which apparently caused the phrase cliffhanger to be coined, as when the novel was originally serialised Hardy left the hero dangling for a week to tantalise his readers.
