From the author of ‘Tess of the D’Urbervilles’, ‘Under the
Greenwood Tree’ is a tale of love, tragedy and the changing charm
of traditional village life when it is met with the cold reality of
modernity. Centring on the quaint rural village of Mellstock, set
deep within Hardy’s imagined and picturesque county of Wessex, the
novel revolves around a double plot of the hopeful love story of
Dick Dewey and Fancy Day and the tragic demise of the Mellstock
Choir, and what the crumbling of long-held traditions means to the
local community. The arrival of Mr Maybold, a new vicar with
newfangled ideas, unsettles the local community with ideas of
revolutionary change, in which the church and its generations-old
choir are an anchor. Considered one of Hardy’s most upbeat and
optimistic novels, ‘Under the Greenwood Tree’ explores issues of
past and future, hope and love, and is a delightful addition to the
Collins’ canon of Thomas Hardy classic novels.&,nbsp,
