Hardy distrusted the application of nineteenth-century empiricism to history because he felt it marginalized important human elements. In The Trumpet Major, the tale of a woman courted by three competing suitors during the Napoleonic wars, he explores the subversive effects of ordinary human desire and conflicting loyalties on systematized versions of history.

Hardy has presented a poignant love-story in "The Trumpet-Major". In the backdrop of Napoleonic Wars, this narrative of desire and sacrifice unfolds and captivates the readers. The female protagonist is being pursued by three suitors. It is the amalgamation of the tug-of-war between them and violence in the background that's unique. Marvellous!
