Afoot in England

Afoot in England looks at the life of Argentinean born William Henry Hudson following his settlement in England in 1869. Hudson began a new life as a wanderer and field naturalist and his country rambles were an escape from a life that then held few other pleasures, not least many years living in poverty in London. The books he wrote about the English countryside eventually brought him fame and, in turn, helped him foster the back-to-nature movement of the 1920s and 1930s. Afoot in England recounts Hudson’™s wanderings from village to village across the south of England, from Surrey to Devon and Cornwall, and along the East Anglian coast. It speaks as powerfully today of the simple pleasures of the English countryside as when it was first published in 1909. The book is introduced by modern day naturalist Robert Macfarlane.About this series:Stanfords Travel Classics feature some of the finest historical travel writing in the English language, with authors hailing from both sides of the Atlantic.
