Offsetting to title-page from frontispiece. Otherwise, clean throughout. When The Return of the Native was first published in 1878, it was met with some scandal due to Hardy's open acknowledgement of sexuality and the flawed characters that populate the novel, particularly Eustacia Vye. In the twentieth century, however, the novel gained new popularity and became one of Hardy's most appreciated titles, alongside Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Far from the Madding Crowd. This edition is ornamented with woodcuts by the artist Clare Leighton (1898 - 1989), best known for her illustrations of rural England in the 1920s and 30s and for illustrating a celebrated edition of Thornton Wilder's The Bridge of San Luis Rey (1929). She was also the first woman to produce a book on wood engraving - her Wood-Engraving and Woodcuts (1932) helped popularize the medium among a twentieth-century audience. Very Good. …

One page, sm. folio, airmail, one small closed tear, good condition. Text: "I was glad to get your letter of 8th August and must apologise for my delay in answering it. I was, just then, caught up into a confusion of work. | I telephoned Mr Leventhal (he doesnt live in Woodbury, but in Boston; however, we are in touch) and he was delighted at his good fortune in acquiring a copy of my FARMER'S YEAR. It is, now, very rare, | [] (By the way, there is, at the moment, a three month retrospective of my work at the Boston Public Library, with an illustrated--partially so - catalogue which is a true catalogue raisonne. If you are interested I will send you a copy.) | I have had several special editions I have illustrated, and last year, for the Bicentennial, I did a book for the Book Club of California, called GROWING NEW ROOTS. It was, alas, available only to members. | The blocks of THE FARMER'S YEAR belong to me, and I have a limited, signed edition of the prints from the book which are for sale. They are nearing their end, I fear. And as the Boston exhibition goes from there to San Francisco for three months and then to Los Angeles, I think they will be sought after. | I have often been asked if I sell the actual blocks. So far I have resisted it, though I have given some to one or two universities. But always I cancel them, with an engraved line obliquely across them. Yes, I most certainly have engravings for sale. As a result of the various exhibitions I have been having my market is good. (By the way, I am glad you think so highly of the work of George Mackley. I consider him exceptionally fine) There is very little wood engraving being done over here in America. I think it is because it is a tedious, lengthy medium so that you cant get rich quickly! | And dear David Jones! I was very fond of him when lived in England. It is so good to see he is at last being recognised. | When I hear from you I will send you my dossier and the Boston catalogue.". …

Macmillan signed limited edition of Hardyâs sixth published novel.

Signed by illustrator Clare Leighton on the colophon page. One of 1,500 copies. In very good condition with toning and bumping. Illustrated by Clare Leighton. The Return of the Native is Thomas Hardy's sixth published novel. It first appeared in the magazine Belgravia, a publication known for its sensationalism, and was presented in twelve monthly installments from January to December 1878. Because of the novel's controversial themes, Hardy had some difficulty finding a publisher; reviews, however, though somewhat mixed, were generally positive. In the twentieth century, The Return of the Native became one of Hardy's most popular and highly regarded novels.…
