Book Summary

The Trumpet-Major is a historical romance novel set during the Napoleonic Wars in early 19th-century England. It follows the love triangle between Anne Garland, a gentle young woman, and three suitors: John Loveday, the noble and self-sacrificing trumpet-major in the British army; his impulsive younger brother Bob Loveday; and the scheming Festus Derriman, a cowardly yeoman. Amid fears of a French invasion, the story blends themes of loyalty, unrequited love, and the tension between personal desires and duty. Though more lighthearted than some of Hardy’s darker novels, it still carries his trademark emotional depth and social commentary.

About the Author

Thomas Hardy (1840–1928) was a renowned English novelist and poet, celebrated for his powerful portrayals of rural life and human struggle. His major works, including Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Far from the Madding Crowd, and Jude the Obscure, often explore fate, class, and societal constraints. Hardy’s writing blends realism with deep emotional insight and is known for its tragic tone and richly drawn characters. The Trumpet-Major stands out as one of his few historical novels and reflects his interest in England’s wartime past.
