It is now considered one of the finest novels in English.
Using richly poetic language to frame a shattering narrative of love, seduction, betrayal, and murder, Hardy tells the story of Tess Durbeyfield, a beautiful young woman living with her impoverished family in Wessex, the southwestern English county immortalized by Hardy. After the family learns of their connection to the wealthy d’Urbervilles, they send Tess to claim a portion of their fortune. She meets and is seduced by the dissolute Alec d’Urberville and secretly bears a child, Sorrow, who dies in infancy. A very different man, Angel Clare, seems to offer Tess love and salvation, but he rejects heron their wedding nightafter learning of her past. Emotionally bereft, financially impoverished, and victimized by the self-righteous rigidity of English social morality, Tess escapes from her vise of passion through a horrible, desperate act.
With its compassionate portrait of a young rural woman, powerful criticism of social convention, and disarming consideration of the role of destiny in human life, Tess of the D’Urbervilles is one of the most moving and memorable of Hardy’s novels.

以下是在木心文学回忆录里摘到的这个老头儿对《苔丝》的评价: 1以后我写长篇小说,一定要和两位人物商量——不是模仿——哈代和陀氏,不断不断看他们俩的书。哈代可以教我的,是气度。 2 像《苔丝》这种小说,福楼拜、托尔斯泰,看了都会发呆的。福楼拜会说:“我还是写得太...

評分这本小说没有我期待的那么好,因为之前很满意哈代的短篇小说,尤其中意其中的一篇《一个女奶工的浪漫奇遇》,又因为看木心先生写道,想找出《苔丝》为什么那么好的原因,找着找着又把书读了一遍,依然无法总结。 我也不想总结一本小说,只是说一点感想。这本书有个副标题,一个...
評分我拿着我的烂苹果 不知所措 酗酒的爸爸呀 挎着他的空篮子 天真的母亲哼着她温柔的歌 她还做着呀不醒的梦 平静时光里求婚的恋人 遥远地方的可爱孩子 宽敞明亮的家 和有权势的亲戚 可怜的我啊 埋葬鲜血淋漓的老马 那花朵环绕的庄园是上天惩罚罪孽深重的我的地狱吗 ...
