Written in the British critical realist style of the 19th century, the tragic story of Tess of the d’Urbervilles is probably Thomas Hardy’s most famous work. Tess, the novel’s heroine, is a peasant girl, pure in heart and attractive. The hardships she experiences in the story eventually destroy her. Tess’s life is quite impoverished. She must work to support her poor relatives. Previously, Tess’s family were of aristocratic descent, but at the start of the book, they have fallen from favor and lost their fortune. Alec d’Urberville, the lascivious heir to a significant inheritance, takes advantage of Tess’s naivety. His seduction leads to her being disgraced. Tess’s true beloved, learning of her lost virginity, abandons her. Afterwards, Tess’s life spirals down, in cruel steps, to ruin.
Thomas Hardy was a famous British critical realist author working in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Hardy was born in 1840 in the county of Dorset in South West England, an area that used to be known as Wessex. Many of his novels describe the landscape and social situations of the period in this distinctive countryside. Hence they are known as the Wessex Novels. Of these, Tess of the D 'Urbervilles is a shining example.
