Hardy's second published novel, Under the Greenwood Tree (1872), the first of his great series of Wessex novels, was originally published anonymously. As part of the Cambridge Edition of the Novels and Stories of Thomas Hardy, this edition of the novel provides readers with an authoritative and accurate text of the novel; moreover it gives access to every revision that Hardy made, and to notations of all the errors introduced by printers' compositors. The annotated text is surrounded by an introduction that gives a very full account of the genesis, the writing and the publishing history of the novel. A range of appendices and comprehensive explanatory notes explore significant aspects of the composition, production and marketing of the novel, touched on in the introduction, to provide a full understanding of the nature and life of this classic work.

"La galanterie constitue, à l'âge classique, une catégorie culturelle, dont procèdent des oeuvres littéraires adossées à une certaine conception de la vie sociale qui favorise le plaisir léger et le loisir lettré. Dans la première moitié du XVIIIe siècle, l'esthétique galante semble toutefois prendre une inflexion particulière sous l'influence du style rococo qui domine alors les beaux-arts et l'architecture, où les grâces d'un Watteau répondent aux meubles chantournés et aux lambris dorés du style Louis XV. En littérature, cette galanterie rocaille trouve particulièrement à s'affirmer dans les petits genres, qui répondent à un désir d'esthétisation de la vie sociale. La poésie fugitive et les oeuvres badines que publient des périodiques comme le Mercure galant sont, en ce sens, exemplaires de cette esthétique de la frivolité qui se complaît souvent dans l'anonymat et l'éphémère."

"Courtship in Georgian England was a decisive moment in the life cycle, imagined as a tactical game, an invigorating sport, and a perilous journey across a turbulent sea. This volume brings to life the emotional experience of courtship using the words and objects selected by men and women to navigate this potentially fraught process. It provides new insights into the making and breaking of relationships, beginning with the formation of courtships using the language of love, the development of intimacy through the exchange of love letters, and sensory engagement with love tokens such as flowers, portrait miniatures, and locks of hair. It also charts the increasing modernization of romantic customs over the Georgian era - most notably with the arrival of the printed valentine's card - revealing how love developed into a commercial industry. The book concludes with the rituals of disintegration when engagements went awry, and pursuit of damages for breach of promise in the civil courts. The Game of Love in Georgian England brings together love letters, diaries, valentines, and proposals of marriage from sixty courtships sourced from thirty archives and museum collections, alongside an extensive range of sources including ballads, conduct literature, court cases, material objects, newspaper reports, novels, periodicals, philosophical discourses, plays, poems, and prints, to create a vivid social and cultural history of romantic emotions. The book demonstrates the importance of courtship to studies of marriage, relationships, and emotions in history, and how we write histories of emotions using objects. Love emerges as something that we do in practice, enacted by couples through particular socially and historically determined rituals."--
