Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Open Air: An Anthology of English Country Life Another form of isolation has been brought by mo tors into country districts. One's circle of friends is no longer the circle of a ten-mile radius. On the contrary, one's circle of friends has small geographical reference. One friend is forty miles in one direction, another twenty-five miles in another, half-a-dozen are in Lon don, one in Hampshire and so on. Thus people living in a place may have no part in that place fundamentally, or in any place. Whereas in the old days whoever lived round about you, unless they were extremely difficult, you fitted into your circle of friendship. The more so cially gifted thus helped out the less, and the whole was leavened. Now, by more peremptory standards, we choose only those With whom we are 'in sympathy' the spontaneous functions of local life consequently de cay and the number of lonely old people must be le gion. Young people must earn their living in cities, so the country that is not within week - encl radius of Lon don is given up to the elderly and retired.

Download or read book Poems of English Country Life written by H. B. George and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems of English Country Life: Selected and Edited With Introduction and Notes The purpose of this little collection is to supply one more book of English poetry, which may be studied as an alternative to Shakespeare. It is well that boys and girls should make acquaintance in the way of school work with other English literature besides the works of the great dramatist, which are moreover too hard for many classes. Nature-poetry is a plant specially of English growth, and therefore specially worthy of attention in English education; and the study of it has the further advantage that it should quicken observation of nature itself. We have limited our choice to poetry dealing with nature as it may be seen in England, because, a selection having to be made somehow, it seemed good to direct attention in the first place to things which are to be seen at home. And we have included poetry dealing with country pursuits, as likely to be specially interesting to the young. It may seem strange that there is no poetry about the sea in this volume; but, except for short isolated passages, the sea has been almost entirely neglected by the great English poets down to the present generation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ladies of Bever Hollow: A Tale of English Country Life There are some traits in one of the ladies of Bever Hollow that may remind a few of one whom they loved and lost, but whose circumstances had no resemblance to those of the fictitious character, except that she bore a wasting, fatal illness, with fortitude and cheerfixlness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Newton Dogvane: A Story of English Country Life A long preface is like a long grace it keeps you from your meat, While the viands grow cold, the vegetables indigestible, and the sauces lumpy. Who Mr. Newton Dogvane was, can be explained in a few words - he was the son of his father; and the whole City, as well as Mr. Dogvane, junior, knew at least what his father was. Dogvane, the elder, was a suc cessful drysalter, who had begun life upon small means 5 but by dint of minding his Own business, and looking more after his own affairs than those Of his neighbours, he had managed to get together a decent amount of worldly goods, and was generally reported to be a safe man _a man whose word was as good as his bond - and that is no light meed of praise in these degenerate times. Mr. Dogvane never speculated out of his business, and not very largely in it. He had married early an estimable woman, and that one word describes her better than a page of eulogy.

Download or read book Country Life Readers written by Cora Wilson Stewart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-14 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Country Life Readers: First Book There is an increasing demand for the education of adult illiterates who have somehow missed their opportunity in early life, and also for the better education of adults that have a very limited degree of learning. The city has provided for this need to some extent with evening Schools, designed mainly for foreigners. All the textbooks for evening schools have, therefore, been pre pared strictly for immigrants and city dwellers. Rural America is coming to realize that there exists a need for education among adults in the rural sections as much as among those in the cities. For this reason moonlight schools, rural evening schools, which begin their sessions on moonlight evenings, have been established and have now been extended to fifteen States. The people attending these schools demand textbooks which deal with the problems of rural life and which reflect rural life, and to meet this demand this book has been prepared. The author has utilized the opportunity when the rural dweller is learning to read to stimulate a livelier and more intelligent interest in such subjects as agriculture, horticulture, good roads, home economics, health and sanitation, and those subjects, which, if taught to him, will make for a richer and happier life on the farm. For illustrations and suggestions the author and publishers desire to express their thanks to the International Harvester Company, The Country Gentleman, The United States Forest Service, Mr. J. E. Barton, State Forester of Kentucky, Mr. Roy French, Prof. G. D. Smith, and Mrs. Cornelia Steketee Hulst. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Country Life written by Herbert Ernest Bates and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this selection of notes which made up the pre-war and wartime Country life column in The Spectator, H. E. Bates explores, in characteristically unsentimental manner, country life at a time when the great momentum of scientific and technological advances brought about increased knowledge and interest in a safer, more accesible countryside, and when agriculture was seen by him to be an arm of defense during the Second World War. This selection gives us a vivid account of the preoccupations of an English country man at a time of great national upheavel." --Taken from front jacket cover.
