Jude the Obscure
By:
- Synopsis
- Originally published as a magazine serial in December 1894, Jude the Obscure was published in book form in 1895, immediately causing a public furor with its fearless and challenging exploration of class and sexual relationships. Jude Fawley’s dreams of a university education are lost when he is trapped into marrying the earthy Arabella, who later abandons him. Moving to the town of Christminster where he finds work as a stonemason, Jude meets and falls in love with his cousin Sue Bridehead, a sensitive, freethinking “New Woman.” Refusing to marry merely for the sake of religious convention, Jude and Sue decide instead to live together, but they are shunned by society, and poverty soon threatens to ruin them.
