Tess of the d'Urbervilles is a moving novel by Thomas Hardy that tells the story of a young peasant woman, Tess Durbeyfield, and her struggle against adversity in 19th century rural England. Marked by poverty and social conventions, Tess faces exploitation, deception and tragedy as she seeks her place in an unforgiving world. The novel explores themes such as innocence, social class, morality and destiny, offering a scathing critique of Victorian society and its treatment of women.
Thomas Hardy was an English novelist, poet and architect. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, including the poetry of William Wordsworth. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society, especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain such as those from his native South West England.
