Die Leidensgeschichte der jungen Tess - ungeheuer vielschichtig deutbar; von Sozialengagement über die Anklage von Sexualmoral und religiöser Bigotterie hin zur Modernisierungskritik alles drin und dran! - stimmungsvolle Bilder inmitten des fiktiven (aber am Vorbild erbauten) Wessex, wo die Schäferidylle des idealen Liebespaares bald vom egoistischen Industriemoloch abgelöst wird - Thomas Hardy, der Schlingel, untersagt sich am emotionalen Höhepunkt der Story die (absolut mögliche) schwelgende Rührung und erspart dem Leser Tränenbäche. Traurig und bewegend ist es dennoch! - Hart konstruiert und so wendungsreich wie ein Fitzek, aber geil!

Am rereading Thomas Hardy again after decades. Amazing imagery and symbolism....terrifically insightful of the forces at work at the time. Heartbreaking in the sexual double standard of the times, consigning the beautiful and sensitive Tess to a life of physical poverty and emotional deprivation after being raped, misunderstood, and abandoned. Given the current political discourse around women's reproductive rights, the story of Tess is not such a distant glance over our shoulders....pay no attention to the fact that the editor is listed as the author! Goodreads has a few flaws.
