Tess of the d'Urbervilles
Hardy's indictment of society's double standards, and his depiction of Tess as "a pure woman," caused controversy in his day and has held the imagination of readers ever since. Hardy thought it his finest novel, and Tess the most deeply felt character he ever created. This unique critical text is taken from the authoritative Clarendon edition, which is based on the manuscript collated with all Hardy's subsequent revisions.

some of us still jam econo, you know / https://t.co/elvR7Ds8wg
reading 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles'. I always imagined Thomas Hardy would be horribly stuffy but I'm enjoying his representations of country life and morals. feels like british Faulkner to me

I have a feeling that my next read (when I finish the two books I’m currently reading) is going to be a reread of Thomas Hardy’s “Tess of the D’Urbervilles”. https://t.co/nHQNL3xJEk

Before writing “Tess of the d’Urbervilles” and other classics, Thomas Hardy was responsible for the excavation of a London cemetery, where a tree later bore his name. https://t.co/ZXzsiJ32QD By @jggross
