Return of the Native Preface

from The Thomas Hardy Library · host Thomas Hardy

In which the story is set amid the lingering charm of a faded Georgian watering place and the brooding expanse of Egdon Heath, a landscape both varied and unified in its wild melancholy. The scene is gently prepared for the unfolding drama by an author’s reflective preface, inviting the reader to ponder the heath’s ancient, almost legendary character.
