Features: Tess of the d'Urbervilles is Hardy's most outstanding work and one of the greatest works in English literature. The protagonist, Tess, represents Hardy's greatest 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, boldly exploring and pioneering. 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, he was selected by LIFE magazine as one of the best books of all time.
