Synopsis:
A sudden catastrophe descends upon England, leaving London a pestilent swamp and the rest of the country in a state of wilderness. Meanwhile, the few and scattered survivors revert to a feudal society. Hauntingly beautiful in its descriptions of environmental collapse, this 1906 novel offers an early example of post-apocalyptic fiction.
About the Author: Richard Jefferies (1848–87) is best known for his prolific and sensitive writing on natural history, rural life, and agriculture in late-Victorian England. After London inspired William Morris's News from Nowhere, as well as writers from John Fowles to J. R. R. Tolkien.
