Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-08 00:00:00 James Puhr "Tess, when it finally appeared in time for Christmas 1891, became an instant bestseller: 'its exceptional popularity' transformed Hardy from a well-respected writer into a famous man. The best London hostesses wanted him to grace their parties and the book's rapid sales began to make him wealthy." "Famously, the Bishop of Wakefield threw his copy of Jude into the fire; other people did the same and sent Hardy the ashes through the post."
