Product Details

1st Edition 1883. Correct 1st state with ads to rear dated April 1883. The book has been described as a "spiritual autobiography" where Jefferies idealises the English countryside as a sort of utopia. The book and its themes have been compared to the transcendentalist movement. The book's "speculative" spiritualism is emblematic of the decline of Christian belief in the more empirical Victorian era. Inspirational to many lyrical nature writers such as Henry Williamson, D H Lawrence, Thomas Hardy, Edward Thomas. Book is about good with dull boards. Slight quite darkened and gilt dulled. Cloth marked and soiled in places. Spine tips rubbed and creased. Contents good. A better than usual example that seldom appears on the market as a 1st edition.
