Hardy, Thomas Jude the Obscure
Bantam USA January 22, 198 0-553-21023-8 / 9780553210231 Paperback Good+
Jude the Obscure created storms of scandal and protest for the author upon its publication. Hardy, disgusted and disappointed, devoted the remainder o f his life to poetry and never wrote another novel. Today, the material is far less shocking. Jude Fawley, a poor stone carver with aspirations toward an academic career, is thwarted at every turn and is finally forced to giv e up his dreams of a university education. He is tricked into an unwise mar riage, and when his wife deserts him, he begins a relationship with a free- spirited cousin. With this begins the descent into bleak tragedy as the cou ple alternately defy and succumb to the pressures of a deeply disapproving society.

HARDY, THOMAS TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES
MACMILLAN 1985 0-333-40815-2 / 9780333408155 Paperback Very Good
Hardy's novel tells the story of how John and Joan Durbeyfield became convi nced that they are descended from the ancient family of d'Ubervilles. They encourage their daughter Tess to cement a connection with the Stoke-d'Uberv ille family of local gentry (who it turns out are themselves not entitled t o the illustrious name) and she is raped by their son, the unprincipled Ale c. It is a connection that returns to haunt her after she has married the p ure parson's son Angel Clare. Tess first appeared in a serialized?and bowdlerized?form in The Graphic in 1891. A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented, as Hardy subtitled the work, represented a direct challenge to conventional notions of sexuality and femininity?and, though conventions have radically changed in the past century, the character of Tess has remained a challenging one. In her introduction Maier argues that we should not see Tess merely as a passive victim; she suggests that a combination of sexual vigour and moral rigour makes Tess not just one of the greatest but also one of the strongest women in the canon of English literature.
