The novel describes the tragic life of a innocent and kind countryside girl after her disgrace. Tess is the oldest daughter of a poor family. His father asks her to claim kindred with a more prosperous D’Urbervilles. Then she is seduced by Alec, and gives birth to a baby which dies in infancy.

摘要托马斯·哈代是十九世纪英国优秀的批判现实主义作家。那是一个工业文明与传统文明冲突的时代，个体农户濒临破产。《德伯家的苔丝》就是在底层农民受到压迫，经济贫困的社会背景下展开的悲剧故事，这也是他最广为人知的作品。该小说讲述了一个纯洁善良的农村少女失身后的悲剧人生。女主人公苔丝是一个贫穷人家的长女。父亲让苔丝去附近的富户德伯家认亲。之后苔丝便遭到了亚力克的引诱而失身，生下了一个孩子不久便夭折。后来，苔丝去农场做工的时候遇到了克莱尔。新婚之夜苔丝向克莱尔坦白了自己过去的遭遇，克莱尔不原谅她而且抛弃了她。最终苔丝回到亚力克身边，于是悲剧发生了。小说通过对社会环境的描写，自身性格的缺陷以及结合宗教原因揭露了苔丝的悲剧命运.首先,苔丝的悲剧也是社会悲剧，是由这个时代思想的压迫束缚造成的。其次也离不开苔丝自身性格的悲剧，她既是勇敢的，敢于对抗传统道德，但同时也是软弱的，她的内心还是摆脱不了传统道德对自己的束缚。最终，普通的善良的姑娘苔丝被残酷的资产阶段的虚伪道德所吞噬，从而走向了毁灭。
