Richard Jefferies

Richard Jefferies: His Life And Work is a biographical and critical study of the life and writings of the English nature writer, Richard Jefferies. Written by the Welsh poet and writer, Edward Thomas, the book was first published in 1909, just a few years after Jefferies' death in 1887. The book provides a detailed account of Jefferies' life, from his early years in Wiltshire to his struggles as a writer in London, and his eventual return to the countryside that inspired his work. Thomas explores Jefferies' literary output, including his novels, essays, and nature writing, and argues that he was one of the most important writers of his time. Throughout the book, Thomas offers insightful and often personal reflections on Jefferies' work, drawing on his own experiences of nature and the countryside. He also examines the social and cultural context in which Jefferies wrote, including the growing interest in nature and the environment in the late 19th century. Richard Jefferies: His Life And Work is a fascinating and well-written biography that provides a valuable insight into the life and work of one of England's most important nature writers. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of English literature, the natural world, or the relationship between literature and the environment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
