Description
|
|
|
|
In Thomas Hardy's classic tale, etched against the background of a dying rural society, John Durbeyfield is told he is descended from the ancient Norman family of d'Urberville. He sends his alert and sensitive daughter Tess to meet their supposed relations, but she is seduced and then abandoned by the rakish Alec d'Urberville. Tess hopes for real happiness when she marries Angel Clare, a clergyman's son, but her past continues to haunt her. Hardy's tragedy underscores the destructiveness of hypocritical Victorian mores.
