About this book

Nineteen acts and one hundred and thirty scenes in three parts: Thomas Hardy's epic-drama covers the war with Napoleon over about ten years. His preface ties the subject to the coast district he knew, near the summer home of George the Third and the birthplace of Nelson's flag-captain at Trafalgar. Spirits, impersonated abstractions, watch the action as supernatural spectators. Hardy notes that his earlier novel The Trumpet Major had touched only the fringe of the same events.
