Tess of the d Urbervilles - Paperback

by Thomas Hardy (Author)

Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented is a novel by Thomas Hardy. It initially appeared in a censored and serialised version, published by the British illustrated newspaper The Graphic in 1891 1] and in book form in 1892. Though now considered a major nineteenth-century English novel and possibly Hardy's masterpiece, 2] Tess of the d'Urbervilles received mixed reviews when it first appeared, in part because it challenged the sexual morals of late Victorian England
