Tess of the d'Urbervilles

Novel (1891) by Thomas Hardy. The story tells of the destruction of Tess Durbeyfield, ‘a pure woman’, by the fecklessness of her once-powerful family, a villain's sexual predatoriness, and the self-deluding idealism of the man she loves. Tess finally kills her seducer and is condemned to death herself. The novel contains some of Hardy's most memorable depictions of human beings at the mercy of malevolent fate.
