Description

Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented, also known as Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman, Tess of the d'Urbervilles or just Tess, is a novel by Thomas Hardy. It initially appeared in a censored and serialised version, published by the British illustrated newspaper The Graphic in 1891. [1] Though now considered an important work of English literature, the book received mixed reviews when it first appeared, in part because it challenged the sexual mores of Hardy's day. The original manuscript is on display at the British Library, [2] showing that it was originally titled "Daughter of the d'Urbervilles." [3] In 2003, the novel was listed at number 26 on the BBC's survey The Big Read.

    I consider this one of Hardy’s best work. It is a tragedy, so beware. But it is well written, although I found him to be a bit loquacious in certain aspects especially when describing the landscape but it’s definitely worth the read.

    What is to be said? It's a Thomas Hardy work, so apparently predictable at the start, but then never to be so, a troubling, course treatise, a wonderful read,

  • Really good read!

    This book starts off slow, but persevere on because this book is worth reading.The ending is a bit tragic, but the story is well-thought and beautifully written.

    One of my all-time favorite books! Tragic, but beautifully written.

  • Pleasantly surprised

    In ninth grade I was forced to read this book, looking at how many pages it had and from what the teacher told the class I was not looking forward to it. However, I really enjoyed this story. I liked almost everything about the writing. The story line was sort of predictable but when teenage dramas rapidly increase it is constantly easier to predict outcomes to books and movies. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read with a story that is slightly depressing yet still enjoyable. Plus, you feel a tiny bit ahead of the pack because this is one of those books written that no one really talks about but is just as educated as The Great Gatsby.
