    El paseante que por nostalgia siga la carretera abandonada que une en línea casi recta, como un meridiano, la ciudad de Bristol con la costa sur de Inglaterra se encontrará durante la segunda mitad del viaje cerca de unos extensos bosques salpicados de manzanares. Allí los árboles, ya sean maderables o frutales, proyectan luces y sombras sobre los arbustos que flanquean la vía convirtiéndolos en jirones. Sus ramas bajas se extienden por encima del camino, en cómoda horizontalidad, como si pudieran tenderse sobre el aire frágil. En un punto cercano a las faldas de Blackmoor Vale, donde ya se avista a unos cuatro o cinco kilómetros la prominente cima de High-Stoy Hill, el camino queda cubierto por la gran cantidad de hojas que cae de los árboles con la llegada del otoño. Cuando los días se vuelven más oscuros en ese lugar solitario, regresan a la mente del ocioso los numerosos cocheros alegres (ahora ya difuntos) que pasaron por la carretera, los pies ampollados que la recorrieron y las lágrimas allí derramadas.

    Cierto anochecer de fines de mayo, un hombre de edad mediana que venía de Shaston caminaba con rumbo a su casa situada en el pueblo de Marlott, en el vecino valle de Blackmore o Blackmoor. Tenía el hombre unas piernas bastante flacas y con propensión a torcerse, al echar el paso, un poco hacia la izquierda. De cuando en cuando inclinaba vivamente la cabeza, como si se afirmara en alguna opinión, aunque no iba pensando en nada. Colgaba de su brazo una cesta vacía, de las que se emplean para llevar huevos, y se cubría la cabeza con un sombrero con un punto muy desgastado en el borde, donde al quitárselo rozaba con el pulgar. A mitad de su trayecto hubo de encontrarse con un cura viejo que iba caballero en una yegua gris, tarareando una de esas tonadillas que sirven para aliviar el tedio del camino. ¿Buenas noches tenga usted ¿dijo el hombre de la cesta. ¿Buenas se las dé Dios, sir John ¿le respondió el cura. El viandante siguió su camino, pero luego que hubo andado unos pasos, se volvió y dijo: ¿Oiga usted, señor, y usted dispense, pero el último día de mercado nos encontramos también en este mismo sitio y a esta misma hora, y recuerdo que yo le dije a usted: «Buenas noches», y que usted me contestó: «Dios se las dé a usted muy buenas, sir John», lo mismito que ahora.

    Thomas Hardy's novel A Laodicean is subtitled 'a story of to-day', and although the 'to-day' referred to is 1880-1, when the novel was serialised in Harper's New Monthly Magazine, there are several ways in which the novel continues to speak to us as a modern novel. Just as photography can be misused by Will Dare in the novel to give the false impression that George Somerset is in a scandalous state of drunkenness, so the modern tabloids are adept at taking photographs of politicians and celebrities which portray them in a certain (biased and/or false) light. In the novel, new communications networks are brought under close scrutiny.

Moving to the town of Christminster where he finds work as a stonemason, Jude meets and falls in love with his cousin Sue Bridehead, a sensitive, freethinking 'NewWoman'. Thomas Hardy was an English author of the naturalist movement, although in several poems he displays elements of the previous romantic and enlightenment periods of literature, such as his fascination with the supernatural.

    Thomas Hardy wrote a book titled Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented. The British illustrated journal The Graphic first published it in a censored and serialized form in 1891. It was later released in book form in three volumes in 1891 and as a single volume in 1892. Tess of the d'Urbervilles earned unfavorable reviews when it originally came out, in part because it questioned the sexual standards of late Victorian England, despite the fact that it is now regarded as a significant 19th-century English novel and Hardy's masterpiece. Tess was shown as a champion of both her own and other people's rights. The book is set in Thomas Hardy's imagined Wessex, a rural area of impoverished England. The novel is summarized as Tess Durbeyfield and is the story of a 16-year-old girl who discovers her father is descended from an ancient Norman family. She drives to market in her father's place, but falls asleep at the reins; the wagon crashes, and the family's only horse is killed. Tess gives birth to a frail son the next summer.
