Considered one of the most important novels of English literature, Tess of the d’Urbervilles is the portrayal of a “fallen woman” who, despite being condemned to a lifetime of tragedy, remains pure and unsullied until the end. Through the endearing figure of Tess, Thomas Hardy attacks prevailing standards of Victorian morality and warns against the advent of a destructive modernity. Published in 1891, the novel faced great outrage in many quarters, but continues to remain one of the most significant works of Hardy’s remarkable career.
About the Author
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was a Victorian novelist and poet. An author of significant literary works such as Far from the Madding Crowd (1874), Tess of the d’Urbervilles (1891) and Jude the Obscure (1895), Hardy often courted tremendous controversy, but was established, even in his lifetime, as part of the canon of great English writers.ISBN - 9788171674374
