Widely regarded as Thomas Hardy's finest novel, Tess of the D'Urbervilles was first published in 1891 and continues to be a favourite around the world. Tess Durbeyfield is a young peasant girl who discovers that she is a descendant of the nobel D'Urberville family. Upon meeting Alec d'Urberville, she is scandalously seduced and secretly has his child, who dies shortly after. Despite her best efforts, her fight to redeem herself in the eyes of her new love - and society - is ultimately lost.
