Under the Greenwood Tree The Mellstock Quire
by Thomas Hardy
Hardy's Under the Greenwood Tree: Or, The Mellstock Quire is the story of Dick and Fancy, whose marriage is built upon deception. Culture and Progress wrote that ""The author certainly manages to convey the impression that he is a believer in the natural fickleness of the maiden heart, but his belief does not lead him into denunciation; on the contrary, he makes this fickleness not merely not repulsive, but agreeable.""

Thomas Hardy, OM was an English novelist and poet of the naturalist movement, although in several poems he displays elements of the previous romantic and enlightenment periods of literature, such as his fascination with the supernatural. While he regarded himself primarily as a poet who composed novels mainly for financial gain, during his lifetime he was much better known for his novels, such as Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Far from the Madding Crowd, which earned him a reputation as a great novelist. The bulk of his fictional works, initially published as serials in magazines, were set in the semi-fictional land of Wessex (based on the Dorchester region where he grew up) and explored tragic characters struggling against their passions and social circumstances.
