BOOK SYNOPSIS
(Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed)
Set in the magical Wessex landscape so familiar from Thomas Hardys early work, Tess of the DUrbervilles is unique among his great novels for the intense feeling that he lavished upon his heroine, Tess, a pure woman betrayed by love. Hardy poured all of his profound empathy for both humanity and the rhythms of natural life into this story of her beauty, goodness, and tragic fate. In so doing, he created a character who, like Emma Bovary and Anna Karenina, has achieved classic stature.
BOOK REVIEWS
[Tess of the DUrbervilles is] Hardys finest, most complex and most notorious novel . . . The novel is not a mere plea for compassion for the eternal victim, though that is the banner it flies. It also involves a profound questioning of contemporary morality. from the Introduction by Patricia Ingham
