题目内容
1.Thomas Hardy,probably the most searching and knowledgeable novelist of our time,was born on June 2,1840,in Dorsetshire,England.He died on January 11,1928.In his youth,Hardy read much and dreamt of becoming a poet,but he studied and practiced architecture as an assistant to a London architect,winning a prize for design.The fine descriptions of structure in his novels were probably somewhat due to his architectural training.For five years he worked hard to practise writing poetry,but when he was twenty-seven,Hardy turned to fiction.His first story was accepted two years later,but upon the advice of George Meredith he decided not to publish it.His first novel,Desperate Remedies,appeared in 1871.During the next twenty-five years he published fourteen novels and two collections of short stories.
Under the Greenwood Tree (1872)he never surpassed(超越)in happy and delicate perfection of art.This and his next novel,A pair of Blue Eyes (1873),begin to show deep irony(讽刺) which is so obvious throughout Hardy's writings.
Far from the madding Crowd (1874)was his first popular success.In it is shown Hardy's amazing power of describing nature as symbolic background for his characters,an organic part of the action of his story.This was the earliest of what he called his novels of character and environment,which included The Return of the Native,Tess of D'Urbervilles,his masterpiece,and Jude the Obscure.Not until he was fifty-eight years old was his first collection of poems published,and he was sixty-four when the first part of The Dymats,surprised the literary world.
