The book draws on a very wide range of contemporary sources and features some of the key makers of the "South Country" rural idyll, including Samuel Palmer, Myles Birket Foster, and Richard Jefferies. The legacy of the idyll still influences popular perceptions of the essential character of a certain kind of English landscape--indeed for Henry James that imagery constituted "the very essence of England" itself. As A Sweet View makes clear, the countryside idyll forged over a century ago is still with us today. 517 $aA Sweet View 676 $a820.932173409034 700 $aAndrews$b Malcolm$0460491 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824166203321 996 $aA Sweet View$94085007 997 $aUNINA
