Thomas hardy novel jude5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Tess drives to market in her father's place, but falls asleep at the reins the wagon crashes and the family's only horse is killed. When the local parson tells John that "Durbeyfield" is a corruption of "D'Urberville" and that he is descended from an ancient Norman family, John celebrates by getting drunk. Tess Durbeyfield, a country girl of 16, is the eldest child of John Durbeyfield, a haggler, and his wife Joan. ![]() The novel is set in an impoverished rural England, Thomas Hardy's fictional Wessex. Tess was portrayed as a fighter for her rights and for the rights of others. 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 sexual morals of late Victorian England. It initially appeared in a censored and serialised version, published by the British illustrated newspaper The Graphic in 1891, then in book form in three volumes in 1891, and as a single volume in 1892.
