Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
The story of a simple, beautiful girl's seduction and its tragic consequences. Thomas Hardy sympathetically portrays Tess's struggles to overcome the pitfalls that poverty and ignorance place in her way.
Thomas Hardy (1849-1928) is a masterful storyteller with his beautiful but harsh portrayal of rural Wessex and his vivid character depictions. Never shy of controversy, Hardy subtitled Tess of the D'Urbervilles 'A Pure Woman', and the haunting, tragic figure of Tess was the character who meant most to him.
