It is one of his series of Wessex novels. The novel was later classified by Hardy for the Wessex Edition of his works in the primary group of "Novels of Character and Environment". Yet despite it being regarded as one of Hardy's major novels, the novel is 'something of an anomaly', in comparison with the tragic depth of both its predecessor "The Mayor of Casterbridge" and its successor "Tess of the D'Urbervilles." The novel reflects common Hardy themes: a rustic, evocative setting, poorly chosen marriage partners, unrequited love, social class mobility, and an unhappy, or at best equivocal, ending. As with most his other works, opportunities for fulfilment and happiness are forsaken or delayed. "The Woodlanders" was widely praised. It was declared by the Saturday Review in April 1887 to be, "the best [novel] that Hardy has written", by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, "his loveliest if not his finest book", by William Lyon Phelps, "the most beautiful and most noble of Hardy's novels", and by A. Edward Newton, "one of the best novels of the last half century". The late nineteenth century English author George Gissing read the novel in March 1888 "with much delight" but felt that the "human part is --- painfully unsatisfactory". The novel remained a personal favourite of Hardy's. Newman Flower recounted that Hardy named it to him as his "favourite novel", and 25 years after its publication, Hardy wrote that, "On taking up "The Woodlanders" and reading it after many years, I like it as a story best of all."

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Henry William Batley, Henry Robertson, Charles Holmes, Henry Macbeth-Raeburn, Herbert Dicksee, William Strang, Francis Walker (illustrator). 1st Edition, Limited Edition. This is a two-volume copy of The Pirate by the great Scottish novelist Sir Walter Scott (1770-1832). It is the 14th of his Waverley novels which, for nearly a century, were the most-read novels in Europe. The Pirate was first published in 1822. It surrounds the life of the Scottish pirate John Gow, who was executed for his many crimes in 1725. These books are part of an incomplete set I have, which is also listed here. Between 1892 and 1894, the Boston publisher Estes and Lauriat published the collected Waverley novels. In 48 volumes, they published a leather set, a marbled-cover set and a plain set. I have volumes of the plain set. By 'plain', I mean attractive navy blue boards with ivory title plates on the spine. The publisher has stated 'Large Paper'; the paper is thick and of best quality. There were 1000 copies of this set printed. This is set #679. That is stamped on each book in red. There is red type on the title page and on the tissue paper fronting each illustration. Each book has six black and white illustrations. The illustrations in these two books are covered with tissue paper. They are stated as original etchings by Henry Robertson (English 1839-1921), Charles Holmes (English 1868-1936), Henry William Batley (English 1837-1907), Henry Macbeth-Raeburn (Scottish 1860-1947), Herbert Dicksee (English 1862-1942), William Strang (Scottish 1859-1921), and Francis Walker (Irish 1848-1916). In both cases, the title panels are faded and scratched. Volume II has minor spots on covers. Volume I's covers are perfect. Both books have fully-intact gold trim; only the tops of the pages were originally trimmed. In the case of both books, the interiors are perfect. No foxing. They have definitely not been read, or possibly even opened.
