| Quotation: | On Bathsheba in Far From the Madding Crowd: "Some of the glow of his love for Emma is there in the writing, and you may wonder if he is offering her a picture of what he most admired in a woman: strength, high spirits, passion, and the power to recover from setbacks and mistakes. Bathsheba, with her dark eyes and hair, and her red jacket, careless of convention and in charge of her own life, is plainly not Emma, but at the same time she shares some of her enthusiasms, notably horse riding - something Hardy himself never mastered." |
