Jude Fawley is a stone mason with a passion for scholarship who longs to study at the nearby university town of Christminster. Then Arabella Donn comes into his life. His longing for her eclipses all else for a time, and they marry but unhappily. Meeting his spirited and intelligent cousin, Sue Bridehead, Jude dares to dream again. But in acknowledging their feelings for one another, Jude and Sue risk becoming social outcasts. In defying conventional morality, their lives become plagued by uncertainty and torment.

NoveList provides detailed suggestions for other authors you might want to read if you enjoyed this book. Suggestions are based on recommendations from librarians and other contributors.
Wharton, Edith, 1862-1937
Though one favors the Victorian era and the other the Gilded Age, the works of Thomas Hardy and Edith Wharton both evoke sympathy by featuring themes of exemplary individuals who meet unfortunate fates -- devastation brought upon them by the conflict between personal desire and the mandates of society. -- Bethany Latham
Bronte, Emily, 1818-1848
Of all the classic Victorian novelists, Emily Bronte and Thomas Hardy are the chroniclers of obsessive, ill-starred love. They are also the poets of brooding, atmospheric landscapes -- Hardy's Wessex matches Bronte's famous moors as an extra presence in their stories, mirroring the characters' emotional drama. -- Michael Shumate
Thackeray, William Makepeace, 1811-1863
Both products of the Victorian Age, Hardy and Thackeray are known for their characterization of flawed human beings, centering their novels around societal and personal relationships that seldom end in happiness. -- Bethany Latham
McEwan, Ian
These authors' works have the appeal factors bleak, cinematic, and leisurely paced, and they have the genre "psychological fiction"; and the subjects "rural life," "extramarital affairs," and "english history."
Cookson, Catherine
These authors' works have the appeal factors bleak and cinematic, and they have the genres "classics" and "love stories"; and the subject "english history."
Buck, Pearl S. (Pearl Sydenstricker), 1892-1973
These authors' works have the appeal factors leisurely paced and strong sense of place, and they have the genres "classics" and "psychological fiction"; and the subjects "rural life," "extramarital affairs," and "husband and wife."
Trevor, William, 1928-2016
These authors' works have the appeal factors bleak, haunting, and stylistically complex, and they have the genres "classics" and "love stories"; and the subject "extramarital affairs."
