"THE NOTES ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE TEXT ITSELF OR FOR THE CLASSROOM DISCUSSION OF THE TEXT, AND THE STUDENT WHO SO ATTEMPTS TO USE THEM IS DENYING HIMSELF THE VERY EDUCATION THAT HE IS PRESUMABLY GIVING HIS MOST VITAL YEARS TO ACHIEVE."

Thomas Hardy's "Tess of the D'Ubervilles" is the sad tale of a young peasant girl's journey through life as it is disrupted by an accident leading to here servitude and rape, her agony and love, her marriage and anguish and finally her commission of murder leading to her execution. This is one of Hardy's best works.
