Published in 1871, this novel of “mystery, entanglement, surprise and moral obliquity'”—as the author himself later described it—launched Hardy's literary career . . . though, because of the scandalous subject matter, including blackmail, murder, and forbidden sexuality, the novel appeared anonymously.
