One of the greatest love stories ever told, beautifully repackaged for a modern teen audience

Loved TWILIGHT? Then you’ll adore Tess of the d’Urbervilles...

Tess is a good woman. But in her time and her place, being good – and being a woman – is not enough to find justice in a world dominated by powerful men, and even more powerful traditions. When Tess falls in love with Angel, she cannot imagine the heartbreak that will follow... or the lengths she will have to go to in order to prove the strength of her heart.

Review:

"The project started in June of 2012 as a commission job from independent U.K.-based publishing house, Oldcastle Books, who's director has an abiding love for the old pulp covers. He asked artist David Mann to produce some covers.... What Mann came up with was a literary mash-up for the ages." Cover artist David Mann discusses the process behind creating the series" --Fast Company Online

From the Publisher:

The Broadview Editions series is an effort to represent the ever-changing canon of literature in English by bringing together texts long regarded as classics with valuable, lesser-known literature. Newly type-set and produced on high-quality paper in trade paperback format, the Broadview Editions series is a delight to handle as well as to read.

Each volume includes a full introduction, chronology, bibliography, and explanatory notes along with a variety of documents from the period, giving readers a rich sense of the world from which the work emerged.
