  • "The Woodlanders is the product of a complex mood. Passion, beauty, money and ambition are there as discernible themes, but it is the interconnectedness of the people who have these feelings that Hardy seeks to convey: the counterpointing of those 'lonely courses' in the isolated rural community with the 'great web of human doings'."

  • "Set in the Dorset landscape familiar to Hardy novels, The Woodlanders tells the story of two women who love the same man. Grace Melbury and Marty South compete for the attention of Giles Winterbourne, but both are doomed to disappointment."@en
  • "Set in the beautiful Blackmoor Vale, The Woodlanders concerns the fortunes of Giles Winterborne, whose love for the well-to-do Grace Melbury is challenged by the arrival of the dashing and dissolute doctor, Edred Fitzpiers."
  • "In a little village in the woodlands of Dorset, there are intense and consuming emotions between the doctor, the daughter of the timber merchant, the tree keeper, a peasant girl and others."

  • ""Giles Winterbourne and Grace Melbury are destined to be married, but on her return from finishing school Grace feels has risen above the humble community of Little Hintock. Tempted by the superficial charms of the ambitious newcomer Edred Fitzpiers, she is drawn into a desperate union. Her naive vacillation between the fickle doctor and faithful Giles, and its consequences, are evocatively portrayed in Hardy's pastoral tragedy."--Container."@en
