Tess of the D'Urburvilles — BBC's new costume drama starts Sept. 14th
You can check out the official BBC site here. It looks really nice! Though they're putting less and less content up these days, it seems. Still, well put-together.
The official BBC press packet for Tess of the D'Urbervilles is here. (You can keep clicking on "next section" to browse the archives.)
More info at Gemma-Arterton.net, a fansite for the actress who plays the main character, Tess Durbeyfield. The site also has an amazing collection of images from Tess. You can also browse the "Articles" section for full articles about the series (i.e. here.) Of course, this all focuses on the one actress, so the gallery isn't complete, but it's still excellent.
I'm so excited for this! Even though I know it's sad, I always love me some good BBC costume drama. It's exciting that it is a new author, too — you don't hear much about Thomas Hardy. (I was rather spoiled last year, getting both Jane Austen and Elizabeth Gaskell, no?) I'm glad to expand my own "classic literature horizons," so to speak, heehee. I've even got the novel to read before I see the series, though I suppose that's not always a good idea, reading it right before watching it. All of the differences stick out even more. But I do love reading the book before seeing the movie/miniseries — it always is better that way.
