Tess of the d'Urbevilles (Wordsworth Collector's Edition)

Tess of the d'Ubervilles 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.
