Thomas Hardy acknowledged the influence of Egerton's work on his own, in particular on the construction of his "New Woman" character, Sue Bridehead, in Jude the Obscure.
In 2013, hit ITV drama Broadchurch ran several similar themes with Jude the Obscure, with one character even referencing the novel in a scene.
Jude the Obscure (1895) is Hardy’s gloomiest and most revolutionary novel.
