A Pair of Blue Eyes is a book by Thomas Hardy, published in 1873, first serialized between September 1872 and July 1873. It was Hardy's third novel, but the first to bear his name on publication.
The novel describes the love triangle of a young woman, Elfride Swancourt, and her two suitors from very different backgrounds. Stephen Smith is a socially inferior but ambitious young man who adores her and with whom she shares a country background. Henry Knight is the respectable, established, older man who represents London society. Although the two are friends, Knight is not aware of Smith's previous liaison with Elfride.
