	Richard Jefferies, 1848-1887, life and works
		Richard’s mother, who had been brought up in London, never settled into a life in the country and the portrait of her as Mrs Iden - usually regarded as an accurate one - in his last novel, Amaryllis at the Fair, is anything but flattering.
		Jefferies had an affection for the traditional practices and customs of the communities he knew but wrote without sentimentality on these subjects and saw that ‘the new’ could often exist harmoniously alongside ‘the old’.
		Jefferies remains unsurpassed as a descriptive writer on the landscapes and natural history of the south of England and as a chronicler of its rural life.

	Richard Jefferies' mysticism
		Jefferies’ most common metaphors for illustrating his desire for more soul life are drawn from his awareness of the sun’s presence: as it lights up each leaf and blade of grass, so would his soul, with greater powers, see into the real nature of the experienced world and grasp its subtle meaning.
		Jefferies seems to perceive some dynamic interaction of consciousnesses in an infinite, timeless structure and when he feels into the life of the man interred in the tumulus the idea of the soul’s immortality becomes a natural one.
		This is surely as powerful a statement of the total joy of living, of the reality of the world experienced by the senses, and the value of the resulting spiritual awakening that a human being could make.
