Thomas Hardy's Return of the Native - The Modern Library

Thomas Hardy

Edité par The Modern Library

This excellent classic book really caused a stir when it was first released in Victorian England for it's depiction of illicit relationships. So much so that Thomas Hardy had to write an alternative ending as he states in a footnote - 'The writer may state here that the original conception of the story did not design a marriage between Thomasin and Venn. He was to have retained his isolated and weird character to the last ? Thomasin remaining a widow . But certain circumstances of serial publication led to a change of intent. Readers can therefore choose between the endings, and those with an austere artistic code can assume the more consistent conclusion to be the true one.' - find out which ending you will choose! This book is the perfect gift for any Thomas Hardy fan!
