Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Countryside WE live in times when change is so rapid that customs and institu tions of even a decade ago are no longer familiar. Everywhere the old is giving place to the new, and the methods of our forefathers are too leisurely for this hurrying age. The whole face of England is being rapidly altered, and this is perhaps more noticeable in the country, even in the most remote districts, than in the towns, where we look for change and improvements. So many old landmarks are being swept away that it seems time to call a halt and at least to take a survey before the old is banished by the new. In the towns it is perhaps almost too late to begin to preserve the buildings of the past, but in the country it is different. During most of the nine teenth century the country stagnated while the towns grew and prospered, but now ease of communication and the desire to see the country has brought about a change the city is being regarded only as a workshop and the country as the place in which to live. People, too, are beginning to understand that rural England is, and has always been, as important as the towns, and that scattered up and down the land are places not only beautiful in themselves, but full of the associations of the past. Each has played its part in the making of England as we know it to-day, and each has some story to tell, if we can only learn to read. An old rubbish heap may contain a wealth of romance, and a commonplace custom may have had its origin in the days when the inhabitants of these islands were little better than barbarians.

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.
