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 d'Urbervilles. They encourage their
innocent daughter Tess to cement a connection with the d'Urberville
family, including their unprincipled son Alec, with tragic
consequences. "A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented," 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 reader's
understanding of the text.
