Tess of the D'Urbervilles
Collins Classics
Hardy Thomas
'My life looks as if it had been wasted for
want of chances! When I see what you know, what you have read, and seen, and
thought, I feel what a nothing I am!'
Challenging the hypocrisy and social
conventions of the rural Victorian world, Tess of the D'Urbervilles follows the
story of Tess Durbeyfield as she attempts to escape the poverty of her
background, seeking wealth by claiming connection with the aristocratic
D'Urberville family. It is through Tess's relationships with two very different
men that Hardy tells the story of his tragic heroine, and exposes the double
standards of the world that she inhabits with searing pathos and heart-rending
sentiment.
