Title: Tess of the D'Urbervilles
Author: Thomas Hardy
Narrator: Martin Shaw
Format: Abridged
Length: 02:23:00
Release date: 07-11-12
Genres: Language Courses
Publisher's Summary: This audiobook includes an introduction and notes by Michael Irwin, professor of English Literature at the University of Kent at Canterbury. Set in Hardy's Wessex, Tess of the D'Urbervilles is a moving novel of hypocrisy and double standards. Its challenging sub-title, "A Pure Woman", infuriated critics when the book was first published in 1891, and it was condemned as immoral and pessimistic. The novel tells the story of Tess Durbeyfield, the daughter of a poor and dissipated villager, who learns that she may be descended from the ancient family of d'Urbeville. In her search for respectability, her fortunes fluctuate wildly, and the story assumes the proportions of a Greek tragedy. It explores Tess' relationships with two very different men, her struggle against the social mores of the rural Victorian world which she inhabits, and the hypocrisy of the age.
