英国小说家托马斯·哈代一生创作了十余部长篇小说,其中,《远离尘嚣》《德伯家的苔丝》《无名的裘德》尤为出色。哈代不仅对妇女的生活方式和心理状态有着深刻的理解,对男权传统限定下的女性怀有深切的同情,而且,在女性形象的塑造上超越了男权传统的女性角色特征,充分体现出妇女所特有的“女性意识”。 Thomas Hardy, a British novelist, wrote over a dozen novels throughout her life, of which “Tess of the Düber” and “Jude of no name” are particularly outstanding. Hardy not only has a profound understanding of the way of life and psychology of women, but also deeply sympathizes with the women who have been traditionally limited by the patriarchal tradition. Moreover, Hardy surpasses the female character traits of the patriarchal tradition in shaping the female image, Women’s unique “female consciousness.”
