Abstract:
The English writer Thomas Hardy was able to come out to the world with a great literary production because of his great ability to master his language .Hardy was able to employ his abilities and experiences especially in his novels Far from the Madding Crowd ,Return of the Native and Tess of d’Urberville. Hardy thought to bring to our attention how urbanization can have detrimental effect on nature despite the fact that urbanization was highly hailed by industrialists and economists. The analytical descriptive approach to analysis was employed in the present work to examine the novels in depth .The study concluded that Hardy was successful in presenting the culture, customs and traditions of rural English in his literary production in alignment with the concept of urbanization which is the major theme of the study as was visualized by eco-critics. Hardy also took advantage of the western art skills in his novels to reflect the full mastery of portraying the English society with its customs, traditions, and laws in all aspects of its life in the light of the advent of machine and modern architecture.The study made very strong suggestions and recommendations to researchers in areas of urbanization not covered by the present study.
