About the book

Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles follows Tess Durbeyfield, a young woman from a poor rural family who is drawn into tragedy after her parents discover a possible connection with the aristocratic d'Urberville name. Her encounters with Alec d'Urberville and later Angel Clare shape the course of her life, exposing her to exploitation, judgement and heartbreak. Hardy uses Tess's story to examine social hypocrisy, class, gender, morality and the harsh consequences of Victorian attitudes toward women.
