WIth the trade ticket of Blackwell's of Oxford on front paste-down and blind-stamp of Lyel of Hull on front free endpaper. Hardy's last novel and his final prose work beyond two or three short sketches written to fulfil engagements. See 'The Later Years p.60. Osgood's 'Wessex Novels' is the first uniform and complete edition of Hardy's works. 'The edition is an important one. The text of every novel was thoroughly and carefully revised the topography names and distances corrected where necessary chapters frequently retitled and much rewriting done. In addition Hardy prepared a special preface for each volume' Purdy p.281. Each of the sixteen volumes has an etched frontispiece by Macbeth-Raeburn depicting a scene from the novel drawn on the spot in this case 'The 'Isle' of the Story' and a map of Wessex drawn by Hardy himself. In terms of book production these are undoubtedly the finest trade editions of Hardy's works. Although published by Hardy's subsequent publisher Macmillan the present volume was produced in matching format as 'Volume XVIII' to retain uniformity the last volume of Hardy's work to be so issued. Several of Hardy's subsequent works were published in matching format as here and allocated appropriate volume numbers. All volumes in this series are scarce especially in this condition.

THE RETURN OF THE NATIVE was written at Riverside Villa Sturnmonster Newton though probably finished at Upper Tooting where the Hardys took a house in March of 1878. The first seven chapters were written by the summer of 1877 and the first two books by November and serial publication was begun in Chatto and Windus's "Belgravia" in January 1878. Hardy had offered the novel to Leslie Stephen for the "Cornhill" magazine but the latter feared that the novel's personal relations were developing into something too dangerous for a family magazine and he refused to begin a serial publication without seeing the completed work. Since this was not possible Hardy's association with Stephen as editor was ended and Smith Elder and Co. agreed on 20 September to publish the finished novel. The book was published in November of 1878 in an edition of only 1000 copies. It was never again reprinted in three-volume format. Smith, Elder and Company hardcover
