"Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk
myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every
illness." -Soren Kierkegaard Duncan Minshull has always walked and
in the last twenty years has made use of it by writing and
publishing books on the subject. He has described the whys, hows,
and wheres of traveling on foot for various magazines and
newspapers, including The Times (London), the Financial Times,
Conde Nast Traveler, and Vogue. He has edited two other collections
on walking: While Wandering: A Walking Companion (originally The
Vintage Book of Walking) and The Burning Leg: Walking Scenes from
Classic Fiction. Walking and writing have always gone together.
Think of the poets who walk out a rhythm for their lines and the
novelists who put their characters on a path. But the best
insights, the deepest and most joyous examinations of this simple
activity are to be found in nonfiction-in essays, travelogues, and
memoirs. Beneath My Feet: Writers on Walking rounds up the most
memorable walker-writers from the 1700s to the modern day, from
country hikers to urban strollers, from the rationalists to the
truly outlandish. Follow in the footsteps of William Hazlitt,
George Sand, Rebecca Solnit, Will Self, and dozens of others. Keep
up with them-and be astonished.
