| This classic novel tells the story of how the poor rural couple John and Joan Durbeyfield become convinced that they are descended from the ancient family of dâ Urbervilles. They encourage their innocent daughter Tess to cement a connection with the dâ Urberville family, including their unprincipled son Alec, with tragic consequences. â A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented,â as Hardy subtitled the novel, represented a direct challenge to conventional Victorian notions of sexuality and femininity. This is a revised, updated, and expanded Broadview edition that highlights a feminist interpretation of the novel in an extensive introduction. The range of historical appendices (including contemporary articles, letters, maps, news stories, and reviews) will greatly enhance a readerâ s understanding of the text. |
