Tess of the d’Urbervilles: A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented: The Student Edition with wide annotation friendly margins

Amazon.co.uk Price: £9.32 (as of 09/04/2023 12:56 PST- Details)

“The season developed and matured. Another year’s instalment of flowers, leaves, nightingales, thrushes, finches, and such ephemeral creatures, took up their positions where only a year ago others had stood in their place when these were nothing more than germs and inorganic particles. Rays from the sunrise drew forth the buds and stretched them into long stalks, lifted up sap in noiseless streams, opened petals, and sucked out scents in invisible jets and breathings.” Hardy’s classic saga of Tess Durbeyfield, a tragic woman whose impoverished father has delusions of noble descent from the d’Urberville family, sympathetically tracks the various wrongs done to her by her lovers Angel Clare and Alec d’Urberville.  The book incorporates stringing social commentary, as Tess’s trials and eventual fall are seen to be the product of a restrictive Victorian moral code, against which Hardy rails. Following the inclusion of Tess of the d’Urbervilles on the new English A-level specification, this new CBy edition contains Hardy’s full text, complete with large, annotation-friendly margins, as well as a set of contextual and biographical notes to aid students’ analysis.
