Description

Poor Tess Durbeyfield faces love, betrayal, and a society that judges her for harm she did not choose. Hardy's tragic novel of fate, purity, and moral cruelty under rigid social judgment. Spoken as when the world names her guilty for the wrong done to her.

Author

Thomas Hardy (1840–1928) gave English literature its most unforgettable tragic landscapes — the imagined county of Wessex, where heath, village, and market town hold the fate of ordinary lives. In Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Jude the Obscure, The Mayor of Casterbridge, and Far from the Madding Crowd, he wrote characters undone by chance, desire, and the hard edges of Victorian society.
