Far From The Madding Crowd

This is an electronic edition of the complete book complemented by author biography. ******************. Far from the Madding Crowd (1874) is Thomas Hardy''s fourth novel and his first major literary success. It originally appeared, anonymously, as a monthly serial in Cornhill Magazine, where it gained a wide readership; critical notices, too, were plentiful and mostly positive. Hardy revised the text extensively for the 1895 edition, and made further changes for the 1901 edition. Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
