Jude the Obscure Part 2 Chapter 5

from The Thomas Hardy Library · host Thomas Hardy

In which the arrival of Sue Bridehead as a pupil-teacher brings a fresh brightness to the humble schoolroom and stirs new reflections in the schoolmaster Phillotson, whilst a visit to a model of Jerusalem and an unannounced inspection intrude upon the daily routine. Jude's quiet admiration for Sue grows amid the subtleties of village life and burgeoning attachments, tempered by the sober recognition of the barriers that tower between them.
