Tess of the D’Urbervilles is the masterpiece of Thomas Hardy,a famous novelist,poet and cross-century literary master in the history of British literature.Tess of the D’Urbervilles creates a vivid artis-tic image of Tess,a beautiful,kind and simple peasant girl,accuses the old etiquette that stifles humanity,ex-poses the hypocrisy of religion,satirizes the absurd law,criticizes the dark society that destroys happiness and love,and presents a realistic picture of life in the British countryside in the 19th century.This paper ex-pounds the superb artistic achievements of Tess of the D’Urbervilles from four aspects:the successful use of symbolism,the ingenious integration of emotion and scenery,the change of implication of geographical space and the artistic implication of allusions,in order to provide some reference for the study of Hardy’s re-alistic creation style.
