Featuring an appendix of discussion questions, this Diversion Classics edition is ideal for use in book groups and classrooms. Controversial when it was first published, TESS OF THE D’URBERVILLES now sits in the canon as one of the great nineteenth-century novels. Driven by overwhelming guilt and her family’s poverty, Tess Durbeyfield claims shaky kinship with the wealthy D’Urberville family, hoping to procure a portion of their fortune. She encounters Alec D’Urberville, and is mortified to find herself the victim of her cousin’s relentless pursuit. When the kind and loving farmer Angel Clare enters her life, Tess is torn between a peaceful future with a loving husband and facing the truth of her past.
