Return of the Native by A. Walton Litz, Alexander Theroux, Dorothy Calhoun, Fred Carrillo, James Gindin
In THE RETURN OF THE NATIVE, one of Hardy's most celebrated novels, the story turns on a love triangle: Clym Yeobright loves the beautiful and cold Eustacia Vye, who is fatally attracted to the faithless and irresponsible Damon Wildeve. Much of the action is propelled by fate in the form of coincidence, but the characters also have a hand in the catastrophes that befall them. Eustacia's dissatisfied and impulsive nature, Clym's self-absorption, and Clym's mother's snobbery and possessiveness all contribute to the tragic ending.

Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Ghaucer
The First Fragment of The Canterbury Tales contains some of Chaucer's most popular and widely enjoyed work. Chaucer introduces his pilgrims in The General Prologue, a set of speaking portraits drawn with a loving clarity that makes no attempt to conceal imperfections. The pilgrims represent human society, and the tales of the Knight, Miller, Reeve and Cook reveal a variety of human preoccupations, particularly romantic and sexual love. Each tale is alive with Chaucer's skills as a poet, as a storyteller and as a creator of comedy. This edition is designed so that the First Fragment can be read as a unit. A very full glossary faces Chaucer's text, and a detailed set of explanatory notes follows it, so that students and readers approaching The Canterbury Tales for the first time can enjoy and appreciate the language of Europe's first great English poet.
