Desperate Remedies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798838460646)

Described by Hardy as a tale of ystery, entanglement, surprise and moral obliquity, his first published novel violated the literary decorum of its day with blackmail, murder, and romance. It relates the story of Cytherea, a maid to the eccentric arch-intriguer Miss Aldclyffe, and the man she loves, Edward Springrove. Upon discovering that Edward is already engaged, Cytherea comes under the influence of Miss Aldclyffe's fascinating, manipulative steward, Manston.
