The Napoleonic Wars shape and colour a love story set in a Wessex village near the coast, astir with the fears, public bustle and military preparations of its time. Anne and her three wooers, sailor, soldier, and braggart militia-man, are ghosts from the day before yesterday, their history filtered down through local memory and record, but although Hardy makes us feel the melancholy of the past he tells his story vividly, tolerantly and comically.
