It's so interesting to read the social context of Widdows's status as a shepherd and interesting that he returned to that definition of himself, once retired. How fascinating to consider the artistic context too as well as the literary one. This definitely makes me want to read 'Far from the Madding Crowd' again, having not read it for about forty years!
