 Amazon.com: Tess of the d'Urbervilles (Bantam Classics): Books: Thomas Hardy,Robert B. Heilman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Tess is the only truly well-developed character in the novel, which, coupled with the fact that Hardy renders the landscape of Wessex as to make it a character itself, gives one the sense of a real struggle between humanity and nature.
As the novel begins, Tess Durbeyfield's irresponsible wastrel of a father is casually and jokingly informed by the local minister that he is a descendant of a long-degenerated and disenfranchised noble family, the D'Urbervilles, whose influence stretches back to the Norman invasion.
Tess, ostensibly a simple country girl, is forced to reckon with the accumulated weight of human knowledge and thought, no small burden for a girl with only the kind of basic education available in a small rural town.

Hardy understood Darwin intuitively and organically; he saw the sweep of change through time, from the endless yearly renewal of plants and bugs in the meadows to the seemingly immutable layout of the rocks and the stars.
