Both have left earlier marriages. Ironically, when tragedy tests their union it is Sue, the modern emancipated woman, who proves unequal to the challenge.  Hardy's fearless exploration of sexual and social relationships and his prophetic critique of marriage scandalised the late Victorian establishment and marked the end of his career as a novelist.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44268245123230,"sku":"UBD-9780140435382","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780140435382.jpg?v=1725450754","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780140435382","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
