The Return of the Native engages ambitiously with contemporary ideas and problems of existence, and would go on to become one of the major 'Wessex novels'. When composed in 1878, however, Hardy's Wessex did not yet exist, and this edition, which is based on meticulous analysis of Hardy's holograph manuscript and every significant print edition of the novel to appear in his lifetime, situates The Return of the Native within the historical context of its first publication, encouraging readers to trace its evolution over the following four decades. Tim Dolin provides a wealth of supporting materials, including an original, authoritative text, comprehensive annotation, commentary and glossary, and illustrated appendices of both Arthur Hopkins's illustrations and the topography of Egdon Heath, thus creating an invaluable tool for students and scholars of Hardy and nineteenth-century literature alike.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e General Editor's Preface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Chronology\u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations of Texts of The Return of the Native\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e The Return of the Native\u003cbr\u003e Apparatus\u003cbr\u003e Variations in Punctuation and Styling\u003cbr\u003e End-of-Line Word Division\u003cbr\u003e Editorial Emendations\u003cbr\u003e Appendices: Appendix 1.
