"See if she is dark or fair, and if you can, notice if her hands be white; if not, see if they look as though she had ever done housework, or are milker's hands like mine." So Rhoda Brook, the abandoned mistress of Farmer Lodge, is jealous to discover details of his new bride in 'The Withered Arm', the title story in this selection of Hardy's finest short stories. Hardy's first story, 'Destiny and a Blue Cloak' was written fresh from the success of Far From the Madding Crowd. Beautiful in their own right, these stories are also testing-grounds for the novels in their controversial sexual politics, their refusal of romance structures, and their elegiac pursuit of past, lost loves. Several of the stories in The Withered Arm were collected to form the famous volume, Wessex Tales (1888), the first time Hardy denoted 'Wessex' to describe his fictional world. The Withered Arm is the first of a new two-volume selection of Hardy's short stories, edited with an introduction and notes by Kristin Brady.

A moving tale from the great writer Thomas Hardy, exposing the inequality of nineteenth century society In this short tragedy, the honourable behaviour of a young woman and the foreign soldier with whom she is in love is confronted by the hypocritical respectability of English society. The story ends in betrayal and execution. The Melancholy Hussar of the German Legion contains all the elements of pastoral tragedy that are found in Hardy's novels, Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Far From the Madding Crowd.
