Hardy published Far from the Madding Crowd in 1874, twenty years before that darker and richer indictment of Victorian notions of class and sexuality, Tess of the d’ Urbervilles, a book I also just re-read.
Hardy began the novel during the spring of 1873, and its serialization in Cornhill began in January 1874. The novel ran for twelve monthly installments, and was published in a two-volume edition by Smith, Elder in November 1874. Far from the Madding Crowd was warmly received by the reading public and generously reviewed by the press.
