The novel expresses Hardy’s rejection of the
conventional heroine of Victorian fiction.

Unwisely Parson Tringham
tells John Durbeyfield, a haggler of Marlott, that he is descended from the ancient Norman family of
d’Urbervilles.

Fortified by this information, he and his wife Joan encourage their
daughter Tess to seek the kinship of the Stoke d’Urbervilles, themselves not entitled to the illustrious name.

She is seduced by their son, the vulgar
rake Alec, and bears a child that mercifully dies .

To make a fresh start Tess goes to work in southern Wessex at the fertile Talbothays farm where she meets Angel Clare, younger son of a parson and, after a struggle within herself, accepts his
offer of marriage.

On their wedding night
Tess confesses her unhappy past to Angel, who recoils in puritanical horror.

He goes off to Brazil and Tess seeks employment at the grim upland farm, Flintcomb Ash, belonging to the tyrannical Farmer
Groby.

There she is again afflicted by the advances of Alec, now an itinerant preacher.
![Page 12: 19th jan 2011 tess](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/5479b402b4af9fda158b48d5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
He is insistent that Tess is more his wife than Angel’s and relentless in his pursuit of her.
![Page 13: 19th jan 2011 tess](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/5479b402b4af9fda158b48d5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Angel returns to England a wiser man and traces Tess to Sandbourne where she is living as Alec’s wife.
![Page 14: 19th jan 2011 tess](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070302/5479b402b4af9fda158b48d5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
She considers it too late for reconciliation and sends him away.

In her despair and entrapment she kills Alec and,
after a brief idyllic period with Angel,
is arrested at Stonehenge, tried, and hanged in Wintoncestor goal.
