This essay seeks to offer some thoughts on the way several filmmakers as well as one opera composer and one cartoonist have made Hardy’s work their own. The multiplication of adaptations in very recent years naturally testifies to the modernity of Hardy’s writing. But one might also wonder what appealed to a variety of artistic practices in that particular novel of Hardy’s. This essay looks at fundamental features of Hardy’s novel – its pastoralism and blending of the tragic and the comical – and examines how such distinctive features have been transposed in cinematographic, operatic and graphic modes. Dans l’ensemble de l’œuvre de Hardy, Far from the Madding Crowd est très certainement le roman qui a donné lieu au plus grand nombre d’adaptations, de nature également très variée. On cherchera ici à réfléchir à la façon dont plusieurs cinéastes mais également un compositeur d’opéra et une dessinatrice se sont approprié le roman de Hardy. La multiplication des adaptations ces dernières années témoigne naturellement de la modernité qui caractérise l’écriture de Hardy. Mais on peut également s’interroger sur ce qui a pu orienter l’intérêt de différentes pratiques artistiques actuelles vers cette œuvre en particulier. Cet article s’intéresse aux traits qui constituent les fondements de ce roman de Hardy – notamment son pastoralisme et le mélange du tragique et du comique qui s’y opère – et observe la façon dont ces traits distinctifs se voient transposés par les modes cinématographique, opératique et graphique.
