A Tour Round England, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from A Tour Round England, Vol. 2 of 2
A talented modern writer, who was made Suffolk the background of some of his best novels, has taken up arms gallantly in defence of the scenery of East Anglia. He contends that the county that fostered the genius of Gainsborough and Constable, and nurtured that contemplative and mournful poet, "nature's sternest painter yet the best," is neither flat, dull, nor monotonous. From the brow of its hillocks, the crow may, he thinks, obtain gratifying glimpses of verdant and thickly-wooded landscape, of umbrageous park, of rivers glancing from dark recesses of shade, of peaceful church towers, grey sentinels of leafy hamlets.
