Book excerpt: The rambler who, for old association or other reasons, should trace the forsaken coach-roadrunning almost in a meridional line from Bristol to the south shore of England, would findhimself during the latter half of his journey in the vicinity of some extensive woodlands, interspersed with apple-orchards. Here the trees, timber or fruit-bearing, as the case may be, make the wayside hedges ragged by their drip and shade, stretching over the road with easefulhorizontality, as if they found the unsubstantial air an adequate support for their limbs. At oneplace, where a hill is crossed, the largest of the woods shows itself bisected by the high-way, asthe head of thick hair is bisected by the white line of its parting. The spot is lonely.The physiognomy of a deserted highway expresses solitude to a degree that is not reached bymere dales or downs, and bespeaks a tomb-like stillness more emphatic than that of glades andpools. The contrast of what is with what might be probably accounts for this. To step, forinstance, at the place under notice, from the hedge of the plantation into the adjoining palethoroughfare, and pause amid its emptiness for a moment, was to exchange by the act of a singlestride the simple absence of human companionship for an incubus of the forlorn.At this spot, on the lowering evening of a by-gone winter's day, there stood a man who hadentered upon the scene much in the aforesaid manner. Alighting into the road from a stile hardby, he, though by no means a "chosen vessel" for impressions, was temporarily influenced bysome such feeling of being suddenly more alone than before he had emerged upon the highwa

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Hardy's fiction has had a remarkably strong appeal for general readers for decades, and his poetry has been acclaimed as among the most influential of the twentieth century. His work still creates passionate advocacy and opposition. The Cambridge Companion to Thomas Hardy is an essential introduction to this most enigmatic of writers. These commissioned essays from an international team of contributors comprises a general overview of all Hardy' s work and specific demonstrations of Hardy's ideas and literary skills. Individual essays explore Hardy's biography, aesthetics, his famous attachment to Wessex, and the impact on his work of developments in science, religion and philosophy in the late nineteenth century. Hardy's writing is also analysed against developments in contemporary critical theory and issues such as sexuality and gender. The volume also contains a detailed chronology of Hardy's life and publications, and a guide to further reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the great observers of Australian life, Henry Lawson looms large in our national psyche. Yet at his best Lawson transcends the very bush, the very outback, the very up-country, the very pub or selector's hut he conveys with such brevity and acuity: he make specific places universal. Henry Lawson is too often regarded as a legend rather than a writer to be enjoyed. In this selection Lawson is revealed as an author whose delightful, humorous, wry and moving short stories continue to delight generations of readers. This is the essential Lawson collection - the classic of Australian classics. 'Lawson's sketches are beyond praise.'Joseph Conrad 'Lawson gets more feelings, observation and atmosphere into a page than does Hemingway.'Edward Garnett

Book excerpt: From the walnut tree at his Suffolk home, Roger Deakin embarks upon a quest that takes him through Britain, across Europe, to Central Asia and Australia, in search of what lies behind man�s profound and enduring connection with wood and with trees. Meeting woodlanders of all kinds, he lives in shacks and cabins, builds hazel benders, and hunts bush-plums with aboriginal women. At once autobiography, history, a traveller�s tale and a work of natural history, Wildwood is a lyrical and fiercely intimate evocation of the spirit of trees: in nature, in our souls, in our culture, and in our lives.
