In the village of Mellstock, the church choir has long been part of community life, but the arrival of new arrangements threatens its familiar place. Meanwhile, young Dick Dewy falls in love with the schoolmistress Fancy Day, whose beauty and aspirations attract other attention and complicate the possibility of a simple courtship. Thomas Hardy brings affection and humor to a rural world where changes in custom sit alongside the hopes and hesitations of individuals. Under the Greenwood Tree connects music, seasonal rhythms, and village relationships in a story about love and the passing of an older way of life. This edition, edited by Adrian Alington, presents Hardy’s early novel in The Scholar’s Library series.
