Desperate Remedies illustrated

By: Hardy, Thomas

Thereat has taken a position as lady's maid to the eccentric arch-intriguer Miss Radcliffe. On discovering that the man she loves, Edward Spring rove, is already engaged to his cousin, Thereat comes under the influence of Miss Radcliffe's fascinating, manipulative steward Manson.Blackmail, murder and romance are among the ingredients of Hardy's first published novel, and in it he draws blithely on the 'sensation novel' perfected by Willie Collins. Several perceptive critics praised the author as a novelist with a future when Desperate Remedies appeared anonymously in 1871. In its depiction of country life and insight into psychology and sexuality it already bears the unmistakable imprint of Hardy's genius.
