Tess is a good woman. But in her time and her place, being good - and being a woman - is not enough to find justice in a world dominated by powerful men and even more powerful traditions. When Tess falls in love with Angel, she cannot imagine the heartbreak that will follow . . . or the lengths she will have to go to in order to prove the strength of her heart.

Challenging the conventions and hypocrisy of rural Victorian England, Thomas Hardy's 1891 novel follows the beautiful Tess Durbeyfield as she tries to escape her poverty by claiming an ancestral relationship to the aristocratic D'Urberville family. This edition is part of the Collins Classics series, presenting key works of the Western canon supplemented with glossaries taken from Collins English Dictionary and short introductory essays on the life and times of each author.

Tess is an innocent young girl until the day she goes to visit her rich "relatives," the D’Urbervilles, in hope that they might help her alleviate her own family’s poverty. Her encounter with her manipulative cousin, Alec, leads her onto a path that is beset with suffering and betrayal. When she falls in love with another man, Angel Clare, Tess sees a potential escape from her past, but only if she can tell him her shameful secret.

A ne'er-do-well exploits his gentle daughter's beauty for social advancement in this masterpiece of tragic fiction. Hardy's 1891 novel defied convention to focus on the rural lower class for a frank treatment of sexuality and religion. Then and now, his sympathetic portrait of a victim of Victorian hypocrisy offers compelling reading.
