3. 国内外研究现状
If searching in CNKI by using #8220;Tess#8221; as the subject, we can get 1267 results. But searching in CNKI by using #8220;Tess#8221; and #8220;irony#8221; as the subjects at the same time, we can only get 12 results. As a result, the discussion on this novel can be known as one of the heated ones, yet the research on the irony within is quiet rare. Though Tess of the d`Urbervilles has broad influence that attracts the attention of many domestic and foreign scholars, most of them pay much attention to the plot of the tragic fate of the protagonist.
A foreign expert, Elias Canetti, holds the view that the heroine Tess was set up in the world literature gallery, this is not just because people transcend the traditional virtue, but also because human nature and the soul of the heroin have huge energy. However, translator Zheng Da`ming states that Tess of the d`Urbervilles typifies Thomas hardy''s pessimistic fatalism,that is, a person cannot change his or her fate. Recently, Professor Xu Binbin published #8220;The ironic narration of Tess of the d`Urbervilles#8221; in 2013,in which he states that irony is a basic narration strategy in Tess of the d`Urbervilles. This strategy, throughout the novel, has a deep connotation. We can see in his dissertation that, the easily-found irony can be found in many aspects, showing the writer's denial of mainstream ideology of optimism in the era of Victorian.
