Hey there Earthlings, Alternatives and Trollers. Put down that mouse and lend an ear. Welcome to The Bandersnatch blog where we talk weird, wacky and wondrous. I'm The Bandersnatch and I have no idea what I'm doing.
As you should know Tuesdays is book blog day were we talk about one particular book and pretty much run with it. Today's blog is on Tess of the D'Ubervilles by Thomas Hardy.
When Tess Durbeyfield is driven by family poverty to claim kinship with the wealthy D'Ubervilles and seek a portion of their family fortune, meeting her 'cousin' Alec proves to be her downfall. A very different man, Angel Clare, seems to offer her love and salvation, but Tess must choose whether to reveal her past or remain silent in hope of a peaceful future.

Tess of D'Ubervilles: A Pure woman faithfully presented, is one of Author and Poet Thomas Hardy's books. It originally appeared in 1891 in the British Illustrated paper The Graphic as a censored and serialised version. The book was then released in book form in three volumes later in the year before a full single novel in 1892 by Publishers James R. Osgood, McIlvaine and Co Publishers. Whilst its now considered a major 19th century English novel, the book received mixed reviews when it first appeared due to challenging the sexual morals of the late Victorian England. Tess the main character was portrayed as a fighter not only for herself but also for the rights of others.
Tess of the D'Uberville is one of those books I truly struggle with, whilst I do believe it belongs amongst the classics its one of those books i have only read once and haven't read again. I do recomend the book however if you wish to have a large range of books read by great British authors and give the book a 5/10.
Born on June 2nd 1840 to parents Stonemason Thomas Hardy and Jemima Hardy Nee Hand in Higher Brockhampton, Dorchester Dorset. Hardy spent his childhood having a good education until he was apprenticed to a local architect. When he became an adult Hardy, influenced by romanticism and having a high criticism of Victorian Society, started writing poems, with many influenced by the social standing of many Britain's and a book of poems ended up being dedicated to his first wife Emma.
Whilst Hardy wrote such noticeable novels such as The Mayor of Casterbridge (1986) , Tess of the D'Ubervilles (1891) and Jude the Obscure (1895), He considered himself a poet first and foremost with many of his works acclaimed by younger poets who viewed him as a mentor. Poets Ezra Pound, W. H. Auden and Phillip Larkin often lauded his poems after his death on January 11th 1928. Many of Hardy's novels often concern tragic characters who struggle against passion and social circumstances, often set in the semi-fictional region of Wessex. Two of Hardy's Novels Tess of the D'Ubervilles and Far from the Madding Crowd went onto be listed in the top 50 of the BBC's The Big Read Survey.
