He named the area “ Wessex". The idea of Wessex plays an important artistic role in Hardy's works (particularly his later novels), assisting the presentation of themes of progress, primitivism, naturalism.Naturalism: is a literary movement taking place from 1865 to 1900 that uses detailed realism to suggest that social conditions, heredity, and environment have inescapable force in shaping human character. Whereas realism seeks only to describe subjects as they really are, naturalism also attempts to determine "scientifically" the underlying forces (e.g. the social environment or heredity) influencing the actions of its subjects. Naturalistic works often include uncouth or sordid subject matter and expose the dark harshness of life, including poverty, racism, sex, prejudice, disease, prostitution, and filth. As a result, naturalistic writers were frequently criticized for being too blunt.Modernist LiteratureModern Dramatists 现代剧作家George Bernard Shaw（1856—1950）乔治萧伯纳——a dramatist of high seriousness Mrs. Warren’s Profession(1898)《华伦夫人的职业》Major Barbara （1905）《巴巴拉少校》Pygmalion （1913）《皮格马利翁》Saint Joan（1924）《圣女贞德》Modernist Novelists现代主义小说家James Joyce 詹姆斯.乔伊斯（1882—1941）Dubliners (1914)《都柏林人》的第3篇Araby （阿拉比）A Portrait of the Artist as a You ng（1916）《一个青年艺术家的画像》(首次展示意识流)Ulysses（1922）《尤利西斯》（全文无标点符号）Finnegans Wake(1939)《芬尼根的苏醒》Stream of consciousness(意识流)：P172Virginia Woolf (1882—1941) 弗吉妮娅.伍尔芙Mrs. Dalloway (1925)《达罗卫夫人》To the Lighthouse （1927）《到灯塔去》The Waves(1931) 《海浪》Modernist Poetry一、T.S.Eliot (1888—1965) T.S.艾略特The Waste Land 《荒原》二、William Butler Yeats (1865—1939) 威廉.巴特勒.叶芝——A nobel prize winner ,a modernist poet, a dramatist (Irish)When you are old《当你老了》Down by the Salley Gardens 《柳园》The Second Coming《第二次来临》。
