Thomas Hardy's novel about a British farm girl and her effect on the men who fall in love with her is read by Julie Christie. This rebellious young woman finds her affections a cause for competition between a soldier, a wealthy landowner, and a modest sheep farmer.©2009 Public Domain (P)2009 Audio Holdings, LLC Classics

Editorial Reviews

Actor Julie Christie performs Thomas Hardy’s Far from the Madding Crowd, which tells the story of a young shepherd named Gabriel and the trials and tribulations he encounters over the course of a long attempt to woo a woman named Bathsheba, whose legion of admirers seems continuously to grow.

Christie has a strong sense of comedic and dramatic timing and she pays careful attention to pacing, constantly recalibrating her performance to match the exact emotional intensity of any given scene. Her voice, too, is a pleasure to hear, clear and authoritative, effectively softening Hardy’s old-fashioned literary style for a modern audience.
