Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Norton Critical Edition

“In this new edition, editors Phillip Mallett and Jane Thomas center Hardy’s reassembled and repaired 1892 one-volume edition, situating his revisions in a compelling textual history. The augmented collection of contemporary responses conveys intensities of sympathy and blame elicited by Hardy’s evocation of a ‘pure woman,’ offering readers of the Me Too generation a chance to engage empathetically and critically with Tess of the d’Urbervilles.”
