Tess of the D'Urbervilles / Thomas Hardy ; with an introduction by Patricia Ingham. New York : Knopf, 1991. xlviii, 472 p. : map ; 22 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. xxxii-xxxiii.) Set in the magical Wessex landscape so familiar from Thomas Hardy's early work, Tess of the D'Urbervilles 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. 20180212. England Social life and customs 19th century Fiction. Didactic fiction.
