"There is something more to be said in fiction than has been said about the shaded side of a well-known catastrophe." - T. Hardy In "Tess of the d'Urbervilles," which now in its second century of existence still attracts a wide audience, author Thomas Hardy took a common Victorian moral issue of ruined innocence and displayed it in a light that caused some controversy at the time.
