Hardy tells the story of Tess Durbeyfield, a beautiful young woman living with her impoverished family in Wessex, the southwestern English county immortalized by Hardy. After the family learns of their connection to the wealthy d&8217Urbrvilles, they send Tess to claim a portion of their fortune. She meets and is seduced by the dissolute Alec d&8217Urbrville and secretly bears a child, Sorrow, who dies in infancy. A very different man, Angel Clare, seems to offer Tess love and salvation, but he rejects her &8212on their wedding night &8212after learning of her past. Emotionally bereft, financially impoverished, and victimized by the self-righteous rigidity of English social morality, Tess escapes from her vise of passion through a horrible, desperate act.Like the greatest characters in literature, Tess lives beyond the final pages of the book as a permanent citizen of the imagination. &8212Irvng HoweWhat a commonplace genius he has or a genius for the commonplace &8212I don&8217tknow which. &8212DH.
