The manuscript of Hardy's first great novel Far From the Madding Crowd vanished shortly after its first publication. Rediscovered in 1918 it sheds remarkable new light on the whole of Hardy's work. The manuscript pages, some of which are reproduced here in facsimile, reveal Hardy's original composition in the novel, and the reluctantly cancelled words which were the result of a long struggle with Sir Leslie Stephen, Hardy's editor. The book was originally commissioned as a rural piece, yet Hardy had other ideas, and author and editor battled over the novel's development. Morgan reveals that Hardy's chief concerns: the role and position of women, the truthful presentation of sexuality, his critical view of class distinction, are all articulated much more clearly in the first version than in the printed text. She demonstrates, moreover, that these pages, with words scored through, sentences overwritten and paragraphs revised, show his progressive development as a 20th-century modernist in the last quarter of the 19th century. He was father of the modern novel's valorization of the low-life hero and heroine.
