No biography of Thomas Hardy has yet included a serious attempt to discover what went wrong with his first marriage to Emma Lavinia Gifford, attributing it wholly to her fault. The present study the author has used every available clue, many of them uncovered for the first time by the author, in his quest to find the true character of Emma, of her feeling towards her husband and of the effects of both on his work. The result, unforeseen when the quest was begun, is a completely new theory of what happened to the Hardys' early love for one another and why.
