《远离尘嚣》是哈代威塞克斯(Wessex)小说中最早的一部,也是集中体现哈代生态和谐观的一部重要作品,主要体现为自然生态的和谐,人与自然的和谐,以及人与社会的和谐。但是有时候作家在展现生态和谐的同时,在作品中却有时候流露出对生态破坏的忽视,体现着个人财产与动物生存权利的矛盾以及生物共同体成员之间的不平等,而这些都反映了生态伦理的矛盾性。 “Far from the Madding Crowd” is one of the earliest pieces in Wessex’s novels. It is also an important piece of work that embodies Hardy’s concept of ecological harmony, which is mainly embodied in the harmony of the natural ecology, the harmony between man and nature, Social harmony. Sometimes, however, writers show the ecological harmony at the same time, but sometimes they show neglect of ecological destruction in their works, which reflect the contradiction between personal property and animal living rights and the inequalities among members of the biological community, all of which reflect Contradictions of ecological ethics.
