Tess
of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented is a
novel by Thomas Hardy, first published in 1891. It initially
appeared in a censored and serialized version, published by the
British illustrated newspaper, The Graphic. It is Hardy's
penultimate novel, followed by Jude the Obscure. Though now
considered a great classic of English literature, the book
received mixed reviews when it first appeared, in part because it
challenged the sexual mores of Hardy's day.
"He
jumped up from his seat...and went quickly toward the desire of
his eyes." 1891 illustration by Joseph Syddall
