About This Item
New York: Signet - New American Library, 1980. Some corner, edge wear. Pages very good. Cover image of Tess from the powereful Roman Polanski film. With a revised and updated bibliography. Because of its sexual frankness and indictment of Victorian hypocrisy, Hardy's novel was considered shocking when it was published in 1891. It is the tale of Tess Derbeyfield, a young country girl whose rape by Alec D'Urberville, a distant aristocratic relative, leads to pregnancy. Tess's baby dies, and she finds work as a dairymaid at a farm where no one knows her story. There she falls in love with and marries a young farmer named Angel Clare, but when Angel finds out about his wife's past, he is horrified, and deserts her. Few notes inside cover. 432 pages.. Paperback. Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Book.
