Román sa odohráva na anglickom vidieku v druhej polovici 19. storočia... V nijakom inom svojom románe Hardy nevenoval toľko miesta scénam z vidieckeho života a zamestnaniam, ako práve v diele Ďaleko od hlučného davu. Pritom nie sú samoúčelné, lebo Hardy má vždy na pamäti hlavný príbeh a osudyhlavných postáv. Napríklad vzťah medzi pastierom Oakom, farmárkou Bathshebou a Bolwoodom je oveľa živšie vyjadrený prostredníctvom náhodnej príhody, keď Gabriel nechtiac pricvikne ovci kožu, ako keby na to bol použil uvravený dialóg. Ani rozhovory vidiečanov - aj keď doširoka rozvádzané - nikdy neodbočujú ďaleko od hlavnej línie záujmu.
