<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Set in the magical Wessex landscape so familiar from Thomas Hardy's early work, <i>Tess of the D'Urbervilles</i> is unique among his great novels for the intense feeling that he lavished upon his heroine, Tess, a pure woman betrayed by love. <p/>Hardy poured all of his profound empathy for both humanity and the rhythms of natural life into this story of her beauty, goodness, and tragic fate. In so doing, he created a character who, like Emma Bovary and Anna Karenina, has achieved classic stature. <p/>(Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed)<br> <p/></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[<i>Tess of the D'Urbervilles</i> is] Hardy's finest, most complex and most notorious novel . . .

It also involves a profound questioning of contemporary morality." -from the Introduction by Patricia Ingham<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was born in Dorset, England, son of a stonemason.
