Tess of the d'Urbervilles: also known as d'Urbervilles & another period drama
Darren has to watch. Was a novel by Thomas Hardy (you know the guy from
Bronson & Batman), and was first published in Heat magazine. It initially appeared
in a censored and serialised version. Though now considered an important work
of curing insomnia, the book received mixed reviews when it first appeared, in
part because it challenged the peculiar accent Hardy perfected during his stint as
Baine.
