Includes bibliographical references (p. 467-468). Marriage, the Church of England, and the British university system all come under criticism in a story about two cousins who love each other and want to improve their lot in life. In this haunting love story, a couple who have each fled a previous marriage find love and fulfillment together, only to have tragedy overwhelm them. Both having left earlier marriages, Jude Fawley and Sue Brideshead find happiness in their relationship. Ironically, when tragedy tests their union, it is Sue, the modern emancipated woman, who proves unequal to the challenge. . Jude the obscure. Stonemasons. Illegitimate children. Death.
