But both suitors are soon eclipsed by the arrival of the dashing soldier, Frank Troy, who falls in love with Bathsheba even though he's still smitten with another woman. His reckless presence at the farm drives Boldwood mad with jealousy, and sets off a dramatic chain of events that leads to both murder and marriage. &&LBR&&R&&LBR&&RA delicately woven tale of unrequited love and regret, &&LI&&RFar from the Madding Crowd&&L/I&&R is also an unforgettable portrait of a rural culture that, by Hardy's lifetime, had become threatened with extinction at the hands of ruthless industrialization.&&LBR&&R&&L/P&&R&&LP style= MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt &&R&&LSTRONG&&RJonathan A.
