eBook 정보

When the impoverished Durbeyfield family learn that they may be descendants of the royal d’Urberville family, they are delighted at the thought of owning a potential fortune and ask their daughter, young Tess, to go and stake their claim. She initially refuses, but is forced to go when she accidentally kills their horse and cripples their livelihood. But her meeting with Alec d’Urberville goes horribly wrong, and she returns home in shame. Tess later falls in love with the kind Angel Clare but is forced to make a difficult decision: to tell him the truth of her past and face the consequences, or to remain silent.

The book was controversial when first published and deemed “socially unacceptable” by some as Hardy’s uniquely feminist portrayal of Tess challenged the sexual morals of the time.

저자 정보

Thomas Hardy was an English author and poet whose writing style incorporated elements of both realism and Romanticism. His works often examined class differences, socioeconomic status, and religion through a critical lens. Hardy was best known for his novels, including The Mayor of Casterbridge, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, and Jude the Obscure, but preferred to regard himself primarily as a poet and not a novelist.
