Description - The Return of the Native (1878) by Thomas Hardy
Though set in a small space (Egdon Heath in the fictional county of Wessex) and short time (a year and a day), this novel addresses the broad social and intellectual upheavals of the Victorian age. Much of this turmoil is embodied in the character of Eustacia Vye, the novel’s wild and wilful female protagonist. Eustacia is a sympathetic but ultimately tragic figure, the epitome of what the narrator calls the “irrepressible New.”
