For Edward Thomas, Richard Jefferies (1848-87) was more than a
nature writer: he was a guiding spirit of the English landscape who
affected a profound influence upon Thomas's own writings. From his
boyhood days, Thomas regarded Jefferies' The Amateur Poacher (1879)
among his favourite books for its eerie capture of 'the free
air-open', and as Thomas himself grew into an adept chronicler of
the English countryside he would return to his mentor with this
astute critical biography. First published in 1909, Richard
Jefferies is a subtle account of the nineteenth-century writer's
life and an illuminating study of a body of work which Thomas once
described as 'a gospel, an incantation'.
