And I was unaware."
In one novel by this author, Fancy Day accepts a marriage proposal from a vicar despite being engaged to Dick Dewy. The speaker of a poem by this author of Under the Greenwood Tree muses on "Some blessed Hope" that the title creature knew "And I was unaware." That poem was written in 1899 or 1900 and opens, "I leant upon a coppice gate." In one of his novels, the title stonemason from this author's invented region of Wessex has relationships with Sue Bridehead and Arabella Donn, while another novel sees Michael Henchard auction off his wife and daughter for five guineas. For 10 points, name this English author of Jude the Obscure and The Mayor of Casterbridge.
