The article is devoted to the poetics of landscape in T. Hardy’s novel “Far from the Madding Crowd” – the second literary work that entered the writer’s “Wessex Novels” cycle after the novel “Under the Greenwood Tree”. It considers the biographical context of the novel creation, reveals the role of the landscape according to the author’s conception, analyzes continuity and transformation of the landscape descriptions’ functions in the artistic world of the novel in relation to the first “Wessex” novel by T. Hardy. It discovers that spiritualized nature remains the value center of the literary work, along with that the artistic world of Wessex submits entirely to everlasting alternation and, at the same time, unity of life and death, where love is the only energy that can confront this “law” of eternal motion.
