Description

Experience Thomas Hardy's masterpiece with this Wordsworth Classics edition of Tess of the d'Urbervilles.

This edition includes an introduction and notes by Michael Irwin, Professor of English Literature at the University of Kent at Canterbury. Originally published in 1891 with the controversial sub-title, A Pure Woman, this story remains a powerful look at social expectations and personal struggle.
