"I would be content, ay, glad, to live with you as your servant, if I may not as
your wife; so that I could only be near you, and get glimpses of you, and think
of you as mine ... I long for only one thing in heaven or earth or under the
earth, to meet you, my own dear! Come to me - come to me, and save me from what
threatens me!"
When Tess Durbeyfield is driven by family poverty to claim kinship with the
wealthy D'Urbervilles 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 the hope of a peaceful future. With its sensitive
depiction of the wronged Tess and powerful criticism of social convention, Tess
of the D'Urbervilles is one of the most moving and poetic of Hardy's novels.
