Summary
Summary
Tess of the D’Urbervilles tells the story of Tess Durbeyfield, a young woman forced by her family’s poverty to claim kinship with the wealthy D’Urberville family. Violated by the son, Alec, her hopes of rebuilding her life with the gentle and bookish Angel Clare fall apart when he learns of her past.
Set among the lush pastures and bleak uplands of Hardy’s imagined Wessex and filled with unforgettable images of tenderness and tragedy, the story examines conventional morality through Tess herself—one of the best-loved characters in English literature.
Author
Author Bio: Thomas Hardy
Thomas Hardy (1840–1928), English poet, dramatist, and novelist, was born on the Egdon Heath in Dorset. He studied in Dorchester and apprenticed to an architect before leaving for London, where he began to write. Unable to find a public for his poetry, which idealized the rural life, he turned to the novel and met with success as well as controversy. The strong public reaction against some of his darker themes turned him back to writing verse. Today several of his novels are considered masterpieces of tragedy.
