«The Return of the Native» is the classic novel by Thomas Hardy, published by Wordsworth Editions Ltd in paperback (400 pages, in English).
The novel is set on Egdon Heath, in rural nineteenth-century England, where the return of Clym Yeobright clashes with the capricious beauty of Eustacia Vye. The landscape, melancholy and imposing, envelops the characters; Hardy explores love, ambition and the tension between the individual and society.
Revised edition from the Wordsworth Classics collection; includes introduction and notes by Claire Seymour.
For readers of classic literature seeking a complete English edition of Hardy's narrative set in Wessex.
Thomas Hardy was an English novelist, poet and architect. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, including the poetry of William Wordsworth. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society, especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain such as those from his native South West England.
