520    Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman Faithfully 
       Presented is a novel by English author Thomas Hardy, first
       published in 1891. It initially appeared in a censored and
       serialised version, published by the British illustrated 
       newspaper, The Graphic. Though now considered an important
       work of English literature, the book received mixed 
       reviews when it first appeared, in part because it 
       challenged the sexual mores of Hardy's day. One of the 
       greatest English tragic novels, Tess of the d'Urbervilles 
       is the story of a “pure woman” who is victimized both by 
       conventional morality and its antithesis. Tess Durbeyfield,
       is a young working woman who is sent by her father to 
       visit wealthy relatives. Her encounter with Alec 
       d'Urberville changes her life forever, and brings about a 
       doom that no one could have foreseen. Hardy was an 
       unflinching observer and in Tess of the d'Urbervilles has 
       left us some unforgettable vignettes of rural life in late
       19th-century England: the slow death of a flock of wounded
       pheasants, the monotony of field labour under an iron gray
       sky, and the itinerant farm worker’s seasonal round. Apart
       from being adapted for the stage several times the story 
       has also been filmed at least eight times, including three
       for general release through cinemas and four television 
       productions. Total Running Time (TRT): 15h, 22 min. Thomas
       Hardy (1840-1928) was an English novelist and poet. A 
       Victorian realist, in the tradition of George Eliot, he 
       was also influenced both in his novels and poetry by 
       Romanticism, especially by William Wordsworth. Charles 
       Dickens is another important influence on Thomas Hardy. 
       Like Dickens, he was also highly critical of much in 
       Victorian society, though Hardy focused more on a 
       declining rural society. Initially he gained fame as the 
       author of such novels as Far from the Madding Crowd (1874),
       The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), Tess of the 
       d'Urbervilles (1891), and Jude the Obscure (1895). However,
       since the 1950s Hardy has been recognized as a major poet,
       and had a significant influence on The Movement poets of 
       the 1950s and 1960s, including Phillip Larkin. The bulk of
       his fictional works, initially published as serials in 
       magazines, were set in the semi-fictional region of Wessex
       and explored tragic characters struggling against their 
       passions and social circumstances. Hardy's Wessex is based
       on the medieval Anglo-Saxon kingdom and eventually came to
       include the counties of Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon,
       Hampshire, and much of Berkshire, in south west England.
