Detailed explanation-1: -The entire action of Hardy’s novel The Return of the Native takes place on Egdon Heath, and it also features in The Mayor of Casterbridge and the short story The Withered Arm (1888).
Detailed explanation-2: -The novel is set on Egdon Heath, a fictional barren moor in Wessex in southwestern England. The native of the title is Clym Yeobright, who has returned to the area to become a schoolmaster after a successful but, in his opinion, shallow career as a jeweler in Paris.
Detailed explanation-3: -Egdon Heath in The Return of the Native is all-pervasive and it holds the action of the novel and its characters as though in the hollow of its hand. It is an extended image of the nature of which man is part, in which he is caught, which conditions his very being, and which cares nothing for him.
Detailed explanation-4: -Thomas Hardy’s Wessex is the fictional literary landscape created by the English author Thomas Hardy as the setting for his major novels, located in the south and southwest of England.
