Download or read book Tess of the d'Urbervilles - Second Edition written by Thomas Hardy and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2007-02-12 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic novel tells the story of how the poor rural couple John and Joan Durbeyfield become convinced that they are descended from the ancient family of d'Urbervilles. They encourage their innocent daughter Tess to cement a connection with the d'Urberville family, including their unprincipled son Alec, with tragic consequences. "A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented," as Hardy subtitled the novel, represented a direct challenge to conventional Victorian notions of sexuality and femininity. This is a revised, updated, and expanded Broadview edition that highlights a feminist interpretation of the novel in an extensive introduction. The range of historical appendices (including contemporary articles, letters, maps, news stories, and reviews) will greatly enhance a reader's understanding of the text.

'He's going to marry her ' murmured Retty, never taking eyes off Tess. 'How her face shows it ' 'You be going to marry him ?' asked Marian. 'Yes, ' said Tess. 'When?' 'Some day.' They thought that this was evasiveness only. 'Yes--going to marry him--a gentleman ' repeated Izz Huett. And by a sort of fascination the three girls, one after another, crept out of their beds, and came and stood barefooted round Tess. Retty put her hands upon Tess's shoulders, as if to realize her friend's corporeality after such a miracle, and the other two laid their arms round her waist, all looking into her face. 'How it do seem Almost more than I can think of ' said Izz Huett. Marian kissed Tess. 'Yes, ' she murmured as she withdrew her lips. 'Was that because of love for her, or because other lips have touched there by now?' continued Izz drily to Marian. 'I wasn't thinking o' that, ' said Marian simply. 'I was on'y feeling all the strangeness o't--that she is to be his wife, and nobody else. I don't say nay to it, nor either of us, because we did not think of it--only loved him. Still, nobody else is to marry him in the world--no fine lady, nobody in jewels and gold, in silks and satins; but she who do live like we.' 'Are you sure you don't dislike me for it?' said Tess in a low voice. They hung about her in their scant white nightgowns, before replying, as if they considered their answer might lie in her look. 'I don't know--I don't know, ' murmured Retty Priddle. 'I want to hate 'ee; but I cannot ' 'That's how I feel, ' echoed Izz and Marian. 'I can't hate her. Somehow she hinders me ' 'He ought to marry one of you, ' murmured Tess. 'Why?' 'You are all better than I.' 'We better than you?' said the girls in a low, slow whisper. 'No, no, dear Tess ' 'You...

Book excerpt: The novel is set in impoverished rural Wessex during the Long Depression. Tess is the oldest child of John and Joan Durbeyfield, uneducated rural peasants; however, John is given the impression by Parson Tringham that he may have noble blood, since "Durbeyfield" is a corruption of "D'Urberville", the surname of a noble Norman family, now extinct. The news immediately goes to John's head. That same day, Tess participates in the village May Dance, where she meets Angel Clare, youngest son of Reverend James Clare, who is on a walking tour with his two brothers. He stops to join the dance, and partners several other girls. Angel notices Tess too late to dance with her, as he is already late for a promised meeting with his brothers. Tess feels slighted. Tess's father gets too drunk to drive to market that night, so Tess undertakes the journey herself. However, she falls asleep at the reins, and the family's only horse encounters a speeding wagon and is fatally wounded. The blood spreads over her white dress, a symbol of forthcoming events. Tess feels so guilty over the horse's death that she agrees, against her better judgement, to visit Mrs d'Urberville, a wealthy widow who lives in the nearby town of Trantridge, and "claim kin", unaware that in reality, Mrs d'Urberville's husband, Simon Stoke, purchased the baronial title and adopted the surname though unrelated to the real d'Urbervilles. Tess does not succeed in meeting Mrs. d'Urberville, but chances to meet her libertine son, Alec, who takes a fancy to Tess and secures her a position as poultry keeper on the estate. Tess dislikes Alec, but endures his persistent unwanted attention to earn enough to replace her family's horse. The threat that Alec presents to Tess's virtue is obscured for Tess by her inexperience and almost daily commonplace interactions with him. He calls her "coz" (cousin), indicating a male protector, but, late one night, walking home from town with some other Trantridge villagers, Tess inadvertently antagonises Car Darch, Alec's most recently discarded favourite, and finds herself in physical danger. When Alec rides up and offers to "rescue" her from the situation, she accepts. Instead of taking her home, he rides through the fog until they reach an ancient grove called "The Chase", where he informs her that he is lost and leaves on foot to get his bearings. Tess stays behind and falls asleep on a coat he lent her. Alec returns and rapes her. The rape is also alluded to in another chapter, with reference to the "sobbing [heard] in The Chase" during the season Tess was at Trantridge, and Alec is later referred to as "the seducer".
