This book, a critical study of the essays and novels of Richard
Jefferies, an English writer of the latter part of the nineteenth
century, is an attempt to define the nature of Jefferies'
contribution to English literature, and to isolate the more
important and effective qualities of his work. Although he was not
a major figure in English letteres, Jefferies was highly regarded
for his essays on nature and the English countryside, studies of
rural conditions, and regional novels; his work mirrors the rapid
change taking place in agriculture at the time, and is of interest
today to social historians and economists. This study begins with a
brief biological account, and then proceeds to a discussion of
individual works. An important feature is a comprehensive
bibliography of Jefferies' books and pamphlets, arranged in order
of publication to assist the readers in checking chronology.
