Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman is a novel by Thomas Hardy. It initially appeared in a censored and serialized version, published by the British illustrated newspaper The Graphic in 1891, then in book form in three volumes in 1891, and as a single volume in 1892. Although now considered a major novel of the 19th century, Tess of the d'Urbervilles received mixed reviews when it first appeared, in part because it challenged the sexual morals of late Victorian England.
Tess of the D'Urbervilles (1998) is a three-hour television serial made by London Weekend Television, first broadcast on ITV between March 8 and 9, 1998, adapted for television by Ted Whitehead and directed by Ian Sharp and starring Justine Waddell, based on Thomas Hardy's 1891 book "Tess of the D'Urbervilles."
