A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, especially William Wordsworth. Charles Dickens was another important influence( realism ). Like Dickens, he was highly critical of much in Victorian society, while Hardy focused more on a declining rural society. Hardy, as a geat man of literature crosssing two centuries, was the last but outstanding critical realist writers of the English Victorian period, so there are many factors of modernism integrated in his realist novels, so he was the transitional bridge for English literature to enter its modern stage from the Victorian period.,Term Interpretation ---realism and modernism,,Realism,,＊ Realism stressing the truthful depiction of contemporary life and society as it exists or existed.

Hardy's realism first lies in his original understanging of the profoundity of art. ＊ he insisting that art should be true to and also higher than reality. He believed that art is typical summary. ＊ putting emphsis on the fact that character could reflect general ones. He created a series of typical images in his novels. For example, in Tess of the d'Urbervilles, and Jude the Obscure, from such character as Tess and Jude, we can see the occupying process of the capitalist production relations, the tragic destiny of the Wessex peasants, and historic course of the peasants' transforming into the proletariat(工人阶级)。
Both Tess and Jude are typical persons of lower class.,,Analysis of Realism on Hardy's Novel--- plot prcessing (tradge),＊ The central figures in both novels, Tess and Jude , not only come from the laboring folk but are themselves laborers, and both are crushed eventually by the society in which they live. Though the tragic story of the principle character in either novel seems to hinge upon the hero's or heroine's love and marriage, what Hardy attacks in the two novels goes much beyond the system of marriage in the hypocritical bourgeois socity to include all the legal, moral, educational and religious phenomena of the society of capitalist relations.,,Analysis of Realism on Hardy's Novel---narrative technique,＊ Taking the Jude the Obscure as an example, in Hardy's works ,there are two kind of paimary narrative techniques: 1.
