This is a vintage copy of Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy. An English, cloth bound limited edition novel, dating to the early 20th century, published 1926.

Often set in the semi fictional region of Wessex, Thomas Hardy (1840 - 1928) was a novelist and poet. Taking its name from the medieval region of Southern England, Hardy's Wessex as it came to be known, expanded within his literary landscape to cover Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire and Hampshire. Initially, it had been used for the local surroundings of his native Dorchester, for which he created the fictional name Casterbridge. This use of fictitious names continued with the expansion of the region. One of his more famous works, Tess of the D'Urbervilles (1891) is set in North Dorset during the 1870s. Thematically, it is a novel of social class, justice, fate and morality, within the scope of women and gender equality.
