Tess of the d'Urbervilles (or its full title Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented) is the twelfth novel by Thomas Hardy, first published in serial form in 1891 and as a book in 1892.The book tells the story of Tess Durbeyfield, a poor but beautiful peasant girl. When the book begins, her father, John, finds out from a genealogist that his surname is really d'Urberville, which makes him and his family of noble lineage. Meanwhile, Tess participates in the local village May Dance. There she meets a young man named Angel Clare. Before they can dance with each other, however, Angel leaves; Tess believes she has been snubbed.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })After the dance, Tess must ride to market because her father is too drunk from celebrating his new heritage. On the way there, she falls asleep on her horse, causing it to run into a carriage and die.Feeling guilty, Tess' parents have her leave home to live with one of her apparent relatives, Mrs. d'Urberville, and her son, Alec. Tess begins working for Mrs. d'Urberville as poultry keeper. Alec takes a romantic interest in Tess; she remains, for the most part, uninterested. However, one night, on their way home, Alec intentionally gets them lost and rapes Tess. The rest of the novel recounts what happens to Tess' life after this incident and how her reputation is ultimately wrecked.Because of the themes presented in the book, such as religious themes — and, God forbid, an unmarried woman who's not a virgin being presented as ultimately moral and good — it was controversial in its time. Today, it is hailed as classic literature.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Tess of the d'Urbervilles has been made into a theatrical film at least three times; there are also four made-for-television movies and miniseries. There have also been several plays and even an opera made of it. | |

All Love Is Unrequited | |
| Tess of the d'Urbervilles / int_7a82c3d2 | comment |
All Love Is Unrequited: Alec's lust for Tess, technically speaking. Her love for Angel is unrequited when he learns her past, and Angel himself has three peasant girls who are flinging themselves at his feet, but whom he doesn't notice at all. One of the peasant girls also has an admirer who's loved her for two years, but she's hardly answered him. | |

Aristocrats Are Evil | |
| Tess of the d'Urbervilles / int_96144372 | comment |
Aristocrats Are Evil: Alec is a phony aristocrat, but close enough. Inverted with Angel, whose well known dislike of old aristocratic families comes to seem more and more like absurd reverse discrimation—especially when he claims Tess's tainted aristocratic blood is why she fell to Alec. | |
