THE RETURN OF THE NATIVE BY THOMAS HARDY

Edited by Margaret Elvy

A new edition of Thomas Hardy's 1878 novel The Return of the Native, with an introduction and notes by Margaret Elvy. The Return of the Native is the second of Hardy's great novels of love and tragedy (the first was Far From the Madding Crowd), exploring the tangled relationships in the rural community of Egdon Heath in Dorset in the 19th century.

Eustacia Vye is perhaps the memorable character in The Return of the Native: she receives a really enthusiastic introduction and description from the narrator. No other Thomas Hardy character has received such a star-billing as Eustacia Vye. Tess Durbeyfield is loved by her narrator, clearly, and receives much exalted prose. But Eustacia has the full force of Hardy's poetry washed over her.

Includes illustrations, an introduction, bibliography and notes. Paperback.
