Features: Tess of the d'Urbervilles is one of Hardy's most outstanding works and one of the greatest works in English literature. The protagonist, Tess, represents Hardy's great contribution to the human world, and she has become one of the most beautiful and charming female figures in the gallery of world literature. Hardy was the last great novelist of 19th-century Britain and the "father of modern poetry" in the 20th century, known for his bold exploration and innovation. As an important representative of the realist writers of late 19th-century Britain, Hardy was one of the most widely read Victorian authors. In 1985, Life magazine conducted a survey among millions of readers to select the "Best Books of All Time," and Tess of the d'Urbervilles ranked fifth in the final list of 20 "Best Books."
