Description

“In this new edition, editors Phillip Mallett and Jane Thomas center Hardy’s reassembled and repaired 1892 one-volume edition, situating his revisions in a compelling textual history. The augmented collection of contemporary responses conveys intensities of sympathy and blame elicited by Hardy’s evocation of a ‘pure woman,’ offering readers of the Me Too generation a chance to engage empathetically and critically with Tess of the d’Urbervilles.”
—Suzanne Keen, author of Thomas Hardy’s Brains: Psychology, Neurology, and Hardy’s Imagination

“Phillip Mallett and Jane Thomas provide the first modern scholarly edition of the 1892 one-volume version of Tess of the d’Urbervilles with new contextual sources and carefully selected critical responses to the novel. Their commentary on the publishing history of the novel is both scholarly and accessible, offering astute insights into one of Hardy’s finest works.”
—Trish Ferguson, Liverpool Hope University

“With its authoritatively established text, generous complement of background and contextual materials, and well-chosen selection of both original reviews and modern criticism, this new Norton Tess immediately stakes a convincing claim to being the edition of choice for both students and the general reader.”
—Keith Wilson, University of Ottawa
