Blackmail, murder, and romance are among the ingredients of Hardy's first published novel.
It is the story of the romantic entanglement between church musician, Dick Dewey, and the attractive new schoolmistress, Fancy Day. A pleasant romantic tale set in the Victorian era.
Hardy was so desperate that his work is published that he paid for the costs himself, but the sales were mediocre.
In this book, he evoked, within the simplest of marriage plots, an episode of social change (the displacement of a group of church musicians)

A heroine who is seduced, and perhaps raped, by the son of her employer. She has an illegitimate child, suffers rejection by the man she loves and marries, and is finally hanged for murdering her original seducer.
The novel is concerned in particular with issues of class, education, religion and marriage.
Heated debate and criticism over these two books helped Hardy decide that he would rather write poetry. In fact, so stung was he by the criticism of his works that Hardy did not write another novel.
The work brought Hardy fame, fortune, and critical acclaim; however, it caused controversy, for instance by describing the eponymous heroine as ‘A Pure Woman.
