Description: "Challenging the hypocrisy and social conventions of the rural Victorian world, Tess of the D'Urbervilles follows the story of Tess Durbeyfield as she attemps to escape the poverty of her background, seeking wealth by claiming connection with the aristocratic D'Urberville family. It is through Tess's relationships with two very different men that Hardy tells the story of his tragic heroine, and exposes the double standards of the world that she inhabits. Lusted after by one man, set on a pedestal by another, Thomas Hardy's heroine Tess is betrayed by both, in a tale that is both passionate and tender."--Back cover.
