He carried forward and developed the literary traditions of the Victorian Age. He described the tragic plots vividly and truthfully in his works. He was considered
7、as “Shakespeare of British novels”. Hardy was born in an a masons family in Drossier, southwest of England, the area that later became the famous “Wessex” in many of his novels .He was expected to become an architect by his parents, and then he was trained as an architect and worked in London and Do
8、rset for ten years. Hardy began his writing career as a novelist in 1871 publishing Desperate Remedie计 出 无奈). He was soon successful and left architecture for writing. He became a great critical realist in the nineteenth century the Victorian Age, during which great changes had happened in the histo
9、ry of western civilization. As is well known, a great social reformation took place in Britain. The various social factors including religion, politics, science, influenced people and tried to transform their mentality. Capitalism was highly developed and stretched to the vast countryside, and the B
10、ritish people were struggling for a bright future bravely and difficultly. It was during this special period that Thomas Hardy inherited and developed the Victorian literature, producing a lot of great novels ，especially Tess of the DUrbervilles.In these novels,he exposed the hypocritical morals, la

Hardys novels are all set against the tough and frightful Dorset landscape (known as Wessex in the novels). The tragedy in his novels was
13、certainly arranged by Gods will. No matter how hard people worked and resisted, they couldnt get rid of the domination. The characters of his novels, for the major part of the poorer rural classes, are sympathetically and often humorously portrayed. Their lives were ruled not only by nature but also
14、 by rigid Victorian social conventions. Hardys style is always pessimistic and tragic. His idea had been vividly expressed in his novels. Everything in his story leads to one inevitable tragic ending. Ones personality determines ones fate, as is thought, thus the heroes and heroines in Hardys novels
15、 are mostly rural men and women whose characters were provincial, tinted with the traits of rural peoplepassionate like fire, naive,innocent and narrow-minded which on one hand make them so lovely and worth sympathy, but contribute to their tragedy on the other hand.2 An tntroduction to the novel-Te
