To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here wheat-ricks overhung the old Eoman street, and thrust their eaves against the church tower ; green-thatched barns, with doorways as high as the gates of Solomon's Temple, opened directly upon the main thoroughftire. Barns indeed were so numer- ous as to alternate with every half-dozen houses along the way. Here lived burgesses who daily walked the fallow ; shepherds in an intramural squeeze. A street of farmers' homesteads — a street ruled by a mayor and corporation, yet echoing with the t...hump of the flail, the flutter of the winnowing-fan, and the purr of the milk into the pails — a street which had nothing urban in it what- ever — this was the Dummerford end of Casterbridge. Henchard, as was natural, dealt largely with this nursery or bed of small farmers close at hand — and his waggons were often down that way. One day, when arrangements were in progress for getting home corn from one of the aforesaid farms, Elizabeth-Jane received a note by hand, asking her to oblige the writer by coming at once to a granary on Dummerford Hill.
