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 collected in book form
brought him recognition (though not wealth), and which continued to
be read and admired after his early death. Wild Life in a Southern
County, published in 1879, examines the habitats of the Downs and
the birds and animals which live there. Written in Jefferies'
highly descriptive style, these essays reveal his deep love and
knowledge of the countryside. The sense of wonder evoked by the
natural world, which permeates all of Jefferies' works, is fully
exemplified in this volume.
