The aim of the article is to indicate that Maria Rodziewiczówna’s 1903 novel Wrzosbears some resemblance to Thomas Hardy’s 1891 novel Tess of the d’Urbervilles in termsof the characters, plot construction and literary themes. The intertextual parallels betweenthe two works, along with the likelihood of a direct borrowing of the aforementionedelements, constitute the subject of this study.
