Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Until surprisingly late in the twentieth century almost all rural traffic, especially for shorter journeys, was on foot, made on footpaths and bridleways, often muddy in winter and hard in summer. These paths connected settlements and took people to work, to market, to church, for business and for pleasure. In The English Path Kim Taplin explores how writers and poets, from Jane Austen to Iain Sinclair, have written about these vital routes, which sustained rural life for centuries; and which were in turn powerful visions of arriving, leaving and sometimes escaping.

Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Our new edition, the most recent addition to the Nature Classics series, has an introduction by the writer and broadcaster Mary-Ann Ochota, and a foreword by Phoebe Taplin, Kim's daughter.…
