Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman
Synopsis
Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles: A Pure Woman, published in 1891, follows Tess, a poor country girl whose discovery that her family is descended from an ancient noble line leads her to seek contact with wealthy relatives. In rural England, this search brings her into contact with Alec d’Urberville, and his attention contributes to events that become difficult to escape. Later, working as a milkmaid, Tess forms a relationship with Angel Clare, but her past continues to weigh on what comes next. The novel interrogates Victorian standards of morality while examining innocence, guilt, and the severe judgments society often places on women.
