Hardy, Thomas. The Return of the Native. London, The Folio Society, 1971. 15 cm x 22.5 cm. 413 pages with illustrations. Original hardcover with slipcase. Excellent condition with only very minor signs of external wear. Clean inside with solid binding. Includes the following chapters: The Three Women / The Arrival / The Fascination / The Closed Door / The Discovery / Aftercourses etc. The Return of the Native is widely recognised as the most representative of Hardy's Wessex novels. He evokes the dismal presence and menacing beauty of Egdon Heath - reaching out to touch the lives and fate of all who dwell on it. The central figure is Clym Yeobright, the returning ‘native’ and the story tells of his love for the beautiful but capricious Eustacia Vye. As the narrative unfolds and character after character is driven to self-destruction the presence of the Heath becomes all-embracing, while Clym becomes a travelling preacher in an attempt to assuage his guilt.

There are references to superstition, magic & witchcraft all of which added to the public excitement and as the novel was published in twelve monthly instalments, Hardy was able to generate extra suspense with ?cliff-hangers? at end of each instalment.* A VG copy of the 1st. thus with some age.
