First published in 1871, Thomas Hardy''s Desperate Remedies, is a tale of murder. More than that, it is a tale of blackmail, bigamy and lies. And yet, under the delicate touch of a true poet, it becomes still more than that again. Desperate Remedies is, in the author''s own words, a story of ''mystery, entanglement, surprise and moral obliquity'' and, as such, it is a fine example of the of the Victorian ''sensation'' novel. However, in his perceptive examination of class and his society''s attitudes towards women, Hardy''s first published work become more than just a ''ripping yarn''; it becomes a true classic.
