Richard Jefferies (1848 1887) remains one of the most thoughtful
and most lyrical writers on the English countryside. He had
aspirations to make a living as a novelist, but it was his short,
factually based articles for The Live Stock Journal and other
magazines, drawn from a wealth of knowledge of the rural community
into which he had been born, which, when brought together in book
form, brought him recognition (though not wealth) and which
continued to be read and admired after his early death. This
volume, first published in 1884, contains a collection of essays
and articles previously published during his career. Written in
Jefferies' highly descriptive style, these essays describe rural
life and nature in England, illustrating folk traditions and
important natural events in rural communities. The mysticism and
wonder of the natural world which exemplifies Jefferies' works is
fully illustrated in these essays.
