Considered one of the greatest tragic novels in English literature, TESS OF THE D’URBERVILLES (1891) tells the poignant tale of a pure woman ensnared by the rigid constraints of conventional morality and its stark opposites. Set in the picturesque region between Berkshire and Dorset in the fictional county of Wessex, Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) masterfully weaves a narrative that exposes the harsh realities of late 19th-century rural life. Known for his controversial views, Hardy often challenged the strict Victorian moral code; his novel JUDE THE OBSCURE was even burned by the Bishop of Wakefield for its provocative content. In TESS, he paints vivid and unforgettable scenes, from the slow demise of a wounded flock of pheasants to the drudgery of field labor beneath an unyielding gray sky, capturing the essence of the itinerant farm workers seasonal journey.Copyright 19th and 20th Century Fiction アート 戯曲・演劇 文学史・文学批評
