Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented is a novel by Thomas Hardy. It initially appeared in a censored and serialised version, published by the British illustrated newspaper The Graphic in 1891, then in book form in three volumes in 1891, and as a single volume in 1892. The novel is set in an impoverished rural England. Tess of the d'Urbervilles received mixed reviews when it first appeared, in part because it challenged the sexual morals of late Victorian England. Tess was portrayed as a fighter not only for her rights, but also for the rights of others.

This is the first complete scholarly edition of one of Hardy's greatest novels. The Return of the Native engages ambitiously with contemporary ideas and problems of existence, and would go on to become one of the major 'Wessex novels'. When composed in 1878, however, Hardy's Wessex did not yet exist, and this edition, which is based on meticulous analysis of Hardy's holograph manuscript and every significant print edition of the novel to appear in his lifetime, situates The Return of the Native within the historical context of its first publication, encouraging readers to trace its evolution over the following four decades. Tim Dolin provides a wealth of supporting materials, including an original, authoritative text, comprehensive annotation, commentary and glossary, and illustrated appendices of both Arthur Hopkins's illustrations and the topography of Egdon Heath, thus creating an invaluable tool for students and scholars of Hardy and nineteenth-century literature alike.

Far from the Madding Crowd follows the life and relationships of Bathsheba Everdene with her lonely neighbour William Boldwood, the faithful shepherd Gabriel Oak, and the thriftless soldier Sergeant Troy. Everdene experiences love, honour and betrayal, against a backdrop of the seemingly idyllic, but often harsh, realities of a farming community in Victorian England. Far from the Madding Crowd is Thomas Hardy's fourth novel and his first major literary success. It offers in ample measure the details of English rural life that Hardy so relished. The novel has been dramatised several times, notably in the Oscar-nominated 1967 film directed by John Schlesinger. In 2007, the book finished 10th on the Guardian's list of greatest love stories of all time. This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

Hardy's portrayal of Tess Durbeyfield, an abused, tragic heroine was shocking for much of its 19th Century audience. First published in 1891, this novel was attacked for its themes of suffering and the unavoidable progress of destiny. "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" was particularly critical of the sexual morality of late Victorian England.
