A profoundly moving condemnation of Victorian hypocrisy and one of the most tragic love stories in the English language, Hardy’s acclaimed novel sees poverty-stricken Tess Durbeyfield forced to choose between two very different futures.
With its depiction of the wronged ‘pure woman’ Tess and its powerful criticism of Victorian hypocrisy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles is one of the most moving and poetic of Hardy‘s novels.
When its heroine, Tess Durbeyfield, is driven by family poverty to claim kinship with the wealthy D’Urbervilles, meeting her ‘cousin’ Alec proves to be her downfall. A very different man, Angel Clare, seems to offer her love and salvation, but Tess must choose whether to reveal her past or remain silent in the hope of a peaceful future.
