Synopsis

The text of the novel is again based on Hardy's final revision for the 1912 Wessex Edition. The Norton Critical Edition includes: expanded footnotes, further drawing out Hardy's web of allusions and comprehensively indicating the material culture in which he embeds this narrative; a selection of Hardy's poems-four of them new to this edition-that emphasises the biographical contexts from which parts of Jude the Obscure arose; nineteen critical responses, including twelve modern essays-eight of them new to the third edition. Simon Gatrell, Michael Hollington, Elaine Showalter, Victor Luftig and Mary Jacobus are among the new voices. Included are a chronology, and revised and expanded selected bibliography.

Media Reviews
The criticism is well chosen to give students an introduction to major elements in Hardy's last novel. I also appreciate the chronology of Hardy s life and the material on his revision process. Norton Critical Editions . . . offer me a chance to expand the world of my students.--David B. Merrell, Abilene Christian University
The only text for the serious scholar. The Critical Editions are not only great from a student's point-of-view but from a teaching perspective as well.--Todd Matthew, Emma Willard School
