Welcome to the LitCharts study guide on Thomas Hardy's The Return of the Native. Created by the original team behind SparkNotes, LitCharts are the world's best literature guides.
Funeral Arrangements. Thomas Hardy had two funerals: one for his ashes, which were buried in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey, and another for his heart, which was buried in Stinsford, his birthplace.
Belgravia. The Return of the Native was originally published in monthly installments in Belgravia, a magazine. Belgravia’s reputation for publishing sensationalistic writing initially gave The Return of the Native a more controversial reputation that it perhaps deserved.
