The Hand of Ethelberta: A Comedy in Chapters

"The Hand of Ethelberta: A Comedy in Chapters" diverges from Thomas Hardy's traditional rural settings, offering a witty satire on the social mores and pretensions of Victorian England. Ethelberta Petherwin, a butler's daughter turned poetess and storyteller, navigates the complexities of rising through the social ranks while keeping her family's lowly origins concealed. With sharp wit and a cunning mind, Ethelberta maneuvers through love, ambition, and societal expectations, challenging the conventions of her day. Hardy crafts a comedic yet insightful exploration of class, gender, and the pursuit of happiness in a rigid social hierarchy.
