A Greek Tragedy in Form of a 19th-century British Novel. 'Of love it may be said, the less earthly the less demonstrative. In its absolutely indestructible form it reaches a profundity in which all exhibition of itself is painful.' Edgon Heath is a mystical place where life is not at all ordinary and simple. It is also the stage where the tragedy in The Return of the Native unfolds. And like any classical tragedy, the action revolves around a woman, in this case goddess-like Eustacia Vye who searches for a way to escape the mundane. Will passion bring her relief?
