The Sussex landscape is here celebrated by writers and poets, both
famous and lesser-known, as we trace their search for rural peace
and beauty in the tumultuous years 1850 to 1939. For the first time
we trace the corpus of Sussex writing which was connected to those
wider events but was equally a hymn of praise to rural Sussex, seen
as nourishing, sympathetic and, for some, a retreat from the
stresses of burgeoning city life or the horrors of mechanised
warfare. We meet Wilfred Blunt and learn of his love for his
Wealden countryside; we encounter the complex Hilaire Belloc; the
acute observations of Richard Jefferies and Rudyard Kipling; and
the modernity of Virginia Woolf. Lesser-known writers are included
too, such as Charles Dalmon or Dr Habberton Lulham, who loved
spending time with the downland shepherds or with travelling folk
among the byways of the county.
