Description
Tess of the D’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy, first published in 1891, is a landmark novel in English literature. It tells the story of Tess Durbeyfield, a tragic and compelling young woman caught between two men: the wealthy and unscrupulous Alec D’Urberville, who seduces her in a remote forest, and the morally rigid and conservative Angel Clare, her eventual husband. The novel vividly portrays a declining rural society and explores the harsh judgments, social constraints, and moral hypocrisies of Victorian England. Tess emerges as one of Hardy’s most memorable and emotionally complex characters, embodying themes of innocence, fate, and societal oppression. The narrative combines tragedy, social realism, and psychological insight, highlighting the struggles of an individual against both circumstance and convention. Hardy’s storytelling critiques the rigid norms of his time while offering a deeply human portrait of suffering and resilience.
