Tess of the D'Urbervilles
by Thomas Hardy
Brilliantly evoking the Victorian countryside, as the rural way of life known for centuries is threatened by new machinery.
Tess the tragic heroine, is from a poor family with aspirations to cash in on their old family name.Tess is sent to a distant relative, whose son seduces the young maiden and begins her tragic downfall. Hardy shows the inequalities in the rural milieu, as Dickens showed in the urban milieu, here the inequalities are concerned with gender, what is acceptable for a man and not for a woman.
