Far from the Madding Crowd

Far from the Madding Crowd

68Worth an evening.

She keeps the farm, a joke valentine does harm, and the steady man is trusted.

Pass it on

The review

Start with the farm, not the suitors. Bathsheba keeps it, and the work is real. One man is steady, one is a soldier, one is ruined by her refusal. A house can read Hardy here. Three men wanting her is not a substitute for the labor, and I was glad the book does not pretend otherwise.

A valentine sent as a joke does real damage. The steady man is the one the book trusts, not the exciting one. I would give it to a teen who thinks a refusal is sport. Somebody is left ruined. That is the note. The farm still standing does not erase it.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

75 instead of 68

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is still a novel film, and it scores 75 instead of 68. What you gain is courage: Leaving is the courage, and the law of the time was against her.

The eight

  1. 9
    Industry

    Bathsheba keeps the farm, and that work is treated as real.

  2. 7
    Household

    Three men want her, and one is ruined by her refusal.

  3. 5
    Piety

    The book trusts the steady man, not the dazzling mistake.

  4. 6
    Courage

    Keeping the farm is the risk; a refusal ruins one suitor.

  5. 6
    Republic

    A farm has people on it who live by how she runs the work.

  6. 6
    Temperance

    A valentine sent as a joke is not nothing; it does damage.

  7. 8
    Truth

    The joke note is false, and a man is ruined by taking it.

  8. 7
    Stewardship

    The farm remains; so does the damage of a joke she sent.

Live historically

Do not send a joke note this week; Bathsheba's valentine did real damage.

68Worth an evening.

The strike is the story, and people are hungry while the pair misjudge.

The review

People are hungry. I had this stored as a courtship with chimneys, and it will not stay there. Margaret Hale moves from a parsonage to a factory city. She and a mill owner misjudge each other across a strike. A house can read Gaskell. The work of the mill is the argument, so the machines and the wages come before the misunderstanding.

A strike is not a backdrop. They are wrong about each other while a town fights over the work. Read it with a teen who thinks the hands are scenery for the couple. If you tell someone the plot, start with the mill and the hunger, or you have told a thinner book than the one she wrote.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

75 instead of 68

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is still a novel film, and it scores 75 instead of 68. What you gain is household: She takes the child out of the marriage the diary has told.

The eight

  1. 9
    Industry

    The work of the mill is the argument, not a romantic set.

  2. 6
    Household

    She and the mill owner misjudge each other from opposite lives.

  3. 5
    Piety

    She comes from a parsonage into a city run by the mill.

  4. 7
    Courage

    The strike is the risk, and the two still misjudge across it.

  5. 9
    Republic

    A strike is not a backdrop. People in the town are hungry.

  6. 5
    Temperance

    Each wants to be right about the other before looking harder.

  7. 7
    Truth

    They misjudge each other while the strike is the true fact.

  8. 6
    Stewardship

    During the strike what the town has is hunger, not a wage.

Live historically

Retell this book from the strike and the hunger, and leave the couple for later.
