Richard Jefferies (1848 87) 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 posthumously in 1892, contains a collection of essays
concerning rural farmers and labourers previously published before
Jefferies had achieved public recognition. Jefferies vividly
describes the daily life and circumstances of Victorian English
farmers, labourers and their wives without sentimentality,
illustrating hardships in addition to idyllic pastimes, providing a
realistic and valuable description of a now vanished way of life.
