The life and death of the Mayor of Casterbridge

by Thomas Hardy, Ian Gregor, Bryn Caless

Set in mid-nineteenth-century Wessex, the narrative follows Michael Henchard's rise to civic prominence years after selling his family at a fair. The story examines his eventual downfall as past secrets and a volatile temperament undermine his social standing.
