Jude the obscure
"... under the crushing recognition of his gigantic error Jude continued to wish himself out of the world..."
Fired with a loved of learning, Jude Fawley yearns for scholarly self-improvement amid the dreaming spires of nearby Christminster. His humble background renders a university education, so tantalisingly within physical reach, frustratingly beyond his grasp. Already a prisoner of his class, Jude is then trapped into marriage, dealing his ambitions a further blow. When his wife deserts him, Jude finally makes it to Christminster, but the walls of academe remain dauntingly insurmountable. His love for an intellegent, freethinking cousin offers the possibility of domestic happiness, yet in that romantic attachment, as with his educational aspirations, Jude is destined to remain a thwarted outsider.
