I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'book' is the definition.
(novel by Thomas Hardy)

'deliver a verdict not good on article difficult to understand' is the wordplay.
'deliver a verdict' becomes 'judge' (judge can mean to deliver a verdict).
'not' is a deletion indicator.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'on article' becomes 'the' (the definite article. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.).
'difficult to understand' becomes 'obscure' (obscure can mean difficult to understand).
'judge' with 'g' removed is 'jude'.
'jude'+'the'+'obscure'='JUDE THE OBSCURE'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for jude the obscure that I've seen before include "book" , "Thomas Hardy novel" , "tragic novel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
