Autorenporträt

English author, essayist, and naturalist Richard Jefferies (1848-1887) is most known for his writings that championed rural life and the natural environment in England. His writing was profoundly affected by his time spent in the countryside after being born on November 6, 1848, close to Swindon, Wiltshire. As a journalist, Jefferies started his writing career by submitting pieces to several magazines. But the books and essays he wrote about nature were what made him famous. He had an excellent capacity for observation and a profound understanding of the nuances of the natural world. Jefferies not only wrote about nature, but also fiction. One of his works, "Bevis: The Story of a Boy" (1882), illustrates his conviction that a child's character development is greatly aided by nature. Vibrant descriptions, strong connection to the country, and meaningful observations are hallmarks of Richard Jefferies' writing style.
