A heartbreaking portrayal of a woman faced by an impossible choice in the pursuit of happiness
When Tess Durbeyfield is driven by family poverty to claim kinship with the wealthy DUrbervilles and seek a portion of their family fortune, 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. With its sensitive depiction of the wronged Tess and powerful criticism of social convention, Tess of the DUrbervilles, subtitled A Pure Woman, is one of the most moving and poetic of Hardys novels.
Based on the three-volume first edition that shocked readers when first published in 1891, this edition includes as appendices: Hardys Prefaces, the Landscapes of Tess, episodes originally censored from the Graphic
