Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy: Chiltern Classics Edition

Censored upon initial publication for the challenge it presented to Victorian moral conventions, Tess is the story of a farm girl whose attempt to pursue love, fulfilment and security leads her only to a string of tragedies. Hardy's masterpiece features a heroine at odds with the world and a traditional rural way of life facing the onset of modernity. The unique cover designs of this series take the presentation of literary classics to new heights.
