Omschrijving
Tess, 20 ans, fille d'un couple misérable de paysans de la vallée de Blackmoor va connaître les vicissitudes de la vie. Un pasteur ayant convaincu son père, qu'il est issu d'une lignée de nobles, ce dernier et surtout sa femme, vont fantasmer sur cette éventualité. Tess est placée dans une famille de nouveaux riches où elle est séduite et abandonnée par Alec d'Urberville. L'enfant qu'elle met au monde meurt peu après. Lorsqu'elle tombe amoureuse d'Angel (et réciproquement), elle fait l'erreur de ne pas vouloir dissimuler ce fait. Dès lors son destin est une descente aux enfers de la honte et de la déchéance... Par des descriptions sobres et souvent poétiques, l'auteur nous peint, à travers l'histoire de Tess, les gestes simples des paysans (les moissonneurs, la traite des vaches), mais aussi les sentiments pleins de pudibonderie et de pharisianisme de l'époque, l'empire de la religion dans la vie de tous les jours (mort du bébé), et l'état d'ignorance dans lequel on maintenait les gens, surtout les femmes.
Thomas Hardy OM (2 June 1840 ¿ 11 January 1928) was an English novelist and poet. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, including the poetry of William Wordsworth. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society, especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain, such as those from his native South West England.While Hardy wrote poetry throughout his life and regarded himself primarily as a poet, his first collection was not published until 1898. Initially, he gained fame as the author of novels such as Far from the Madding Crowd (1874), The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1891), and Jude the Obscure (1895). During his lifetime, Hardy's poetry was acclaimed by younger poets (particularly the Georgians) who viewed him as a mentor. After his death his poems were lauded by Ezra Pound, W. H. Auden and Philip Larkin.
