Jude the Obscure is Thomas Hardy's final novel, which follows the story of Jude - a young man who aspires to intellectual achievement beyond his profession of stonemason.
Aspiring to scholarly heights, from childhood Jude reads and teaches himself Greek and Latin, and shows aptitude in assimilating such knowledge.
However during his teenage years he meets Arabella, who manipulates him into marriage by claiming pregnancy.
Although the pair separate without divorcing, Jude is further distracted from his aspirations by his flamboyant young cousin Sue Bridehead, with whom he falls in love.
Although eventually forming a union with Sue, Jude finds difficulty in reconciling his Christian beliefs with the non-adherence of his cousin.
These differences further hinder Jude's aim of eventually rising above his working class origins and escaping economic oppression, as social stigma against he and Sue living together unmarried acts as an additional oppression.
Published in 1895, Jude the Obscure struck a chord with the reading public for its intense characterisation and narrative.
It was one of the earliest works of fiction to criticise the institution of marriage, juxtaposing the religious origins behind matrimony and the public's then-condemnatory attitude to long term couples who remain unmarried.
Throughout the lengthy narrative, it also paints a stark portrait of the rigid class structure and social conventions of the Victorian era, and their stymieing of individuals who may otherwise be of great promise.

Lord Geoffrey Fitzroy leads a charmed existence.
As the second son of the Duke of Breconridge, he has none of the responsibilities of his older brother and all of the advantages, leaving handsome Geoffrey free to enjoy his rakish pursuits.
And pursue them he does, leaving hearts fluttering all over London.
But one night, at a ball brimming with high society’s most sought-after beauties, only one truly intrigues him: the regal, aloof, and mysterious Miss Serena Carew.
Magnificently dressed and wearing jewels befitting a queen, the lady is considered the prize of the season: a noble-born heiress raised in India.
But even as Geoffrey’s fascination grows, Serena deflects his curiosity—and with good reason.
Serena’s exotic past contains a perilous secret that could destroy her.
Yet her plan to live in safe solitude is thwarted by her hungry heart, and soon Geoffrey’s passionate seduction finds her blissfully bedded—and wed.
Will her deception destroy her chance at happiness as Geoffrey’s wife? Or will the devotion of her new husband bring out the hidden truth of her undying love?
