Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman

Children's books · Novel

Open Library OL44927W

Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman initially appeared in a censored and serialised version, published by the British illustrated newspaper The Graphic, then in book form in three volumes, and as a single volume. Although now considered a major novel of the 19th century, Tess of the d'Urbervilles received mixed reviews when it first appeared, in part because it challenged the morals of late Victorian England.
