 Return of the Native   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Several botanical organizations — e.g., the California Native Plant Society and the Florida Native Plant Society — define a state's native plants as those which grew within its borders prior to European contact (1513 in the case of Florida, 1542 in the case of California).
But however one defines "native," it's clear that, given sufficient time to evolve, plants adapt to an ecosystem's local climate changes, elevation and other conditions — and pass along those adaptations in their genetic material.
Returning to the definition of "native," the California Native Plant Society's Web site (www.cnps.org) includes a wonderfully sophisticated glossary, one that acknowledges that much plant terminology is in the eye and mind of the beholder.

 Discussion Questions for Thomas Hardy's "The Return of the Native"
Continues Squillace, "the mummers' play in The Return of the Native does not manifest the unconscious conflicts of the natives of Egdon Heath; rather, it reflects the evolutionary stage of heath society, the superstitious Christianity of the Middle Ages" (185).
Born and raised a Londoner, Hopkins was living in Kensington when he illustrated The Return of the Native, and so in all likelihood had little knowledge of the countryside and customs of rural Dorset.
Richard Benvenuto in "The Return of the Native as a Tragedy in Six Books" (Nineteenth-Century Fiction 26, 1: 83-93), instead of criticizing Hardy's violating the five-part structure of Greek tragedy, feels that "the sixth book reshapes the drama of the first five in a way that changes, qualitatively, our total experience of the novel" (83).

Clym Yeobright, the native of the title, returns to the countryside where he was born--much as Hardy himself, after a stint in London, returned to his native Dorsetshire to write.
The novel was also notable when it was published (in 1878) because its ending does not conform to the Victorial ideal of a happy one with all the ends tied up, and because most of the major characters cannot be termed admirable.
However, THE RETURN OF THE NATIVE has always been one of Hardy's most popular novels, and perhaps the one most expressive of his own view of the world.

 The Return of the Native - Thomas Hardy - Penguin Classics
Hearing that Clym Yeobright is to return from Paris, she sets her heart on marrying him, believing that through him she can leave rural life and find fulfilment elsewhere.
But she is to be disappointed, for Clym has dreams of his own, and they have little in common with Eustacia’s.
The Return of the Native illustrates the tragic potential of romantic illusion and how its protagonists fail to recognize their opportunities to control their own destinies.

 Arthur Hopkins's Illustrations for the Monthly Serialisation of Thomas Hardy's The Return of the Native
Thus, the mimetic illustrations tended to make even so daring a story as The Return of the Native, with its obvious parallels to Flaubert's Madame Bovary (1856), acceptable to the broad readership that Hardy had to address if he were to remain a professional writer of prose and turn his back forever on architecture.
Even when a modern attempts to experience Hardy as his first nineteenth-century readers would have done, reading the chapters in their original serial groupings and pausing to reflect and anticipate as the magazine reader would have done, without the illustrations that initial reading cannot be recreated.
In fact, out of the twelve illustrations for The Return of the Native, eleven are intended to depict specific moments, as the quotations which serve as the picture-titles suggest (the only exception to this rule is the frontispiece for Belgravia,Volume 35, March 1878, "The reddleman re-reads an old love letter").

 CliffsNotes::The Return of the Native:Book Summary and Study Guide
Clym, the native who returns to his birthplace on Egdon Heath, is an instance of a precocious, highly regarded child and boy who, when a man, leaves his provincial background to make his way in the world.
Both the heath folk and his mother are doubtful of his plan to be a “schoolmaster to the poor and ignorant”; they view it as impractical as well as less desirable than his commercial career in Paris.
Eustacia can’t understand why a man who has lived in Paris, the center, to her, of all that is desirable, should choose to return to Egdon.

 The Illustrating Traveler: Encountering Native Americans, Part I
Native Americans were an important focus of illustration in North American travel accounts.
In the tradition of the narrative of Cook's third voyage, published eight years previously, Cardero produced portraits of individual natives such as the chief Macuina (whose portrait was taken, ultimately, by more Europeans artists than any native American up to his time) and plates depicting local customs.
The crude woodcuts in this work are at least efforts to provide accurate illustrations of the Native Americans discussed in the text; they are all the more interesting given the total failure of Lewis and Clark to provide graphic images in their work published two years later.

She is attempting to return the male gaze, using the power of her sex to gain what she wants, first Wildeve, then Clym, and then to go to Paris, away from the heath that is so threatening to her.
Even though Eustacia has died, as a consequence of her transgression and of her attempt to return the male gaze by seizing power over her own life, her sin has a devastating effect on her husband and by extension the community to which she belonged.
To return to Foucault’s idea of the Panopticon, the system set in place for surveillance of prisoners, and Laura Mulvey’s ideas about gendering this surveillance, the parallels between the prisoners and the women in the novels are startling.
