Part of a commercial site called WriteForCash.com, a division of PageWise, Inc., which depends upon advertising and uses articles submitted to it from applicants who offer to write on a given subject and are paid $10-$20 for essays of 500 to 2000 words. PageWise, Inc., disclaims all warranties for the information provided in the articles. This page provides an unsigned eleven-paragraph essay titled "The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy." The focus of the article is on "irony" in the novel, and references in it are made to a 1955 Washington Square Press edition. Copyright is by PageWise. Inc.
COMMENT:
The edition used is unauthoritative; the essay is amateurish and written in a style geared to an immature audience. Although contributors are permitted to use a by-line, none is provided and no information is given about the qualifications of the author.
