- Résumé : « The Dewy Morn » by Richard Jefferies is a nuanced portrayal of rural life in late Victorian England, blending elements of pastoral romance, social realism, and nature writing. Set in a small English village, the novel explores the rhythms of agricultural life and the profound changes sweeping through the countryside at the end of the nineteenth century. Jefferies, renowned for his keen observation and lyrical prose, paints a vivid picture of the landscape, the seasons, and the people who inhabit this vanishing world. At the heart of the narrative is a family saga that captures the struggles and aspirations of villagers as they confront the forces of modernization and social upheaval. The story is infused with a sense of nostalgia for a simpler way of life, yet it does not shy away from the harsh realities of poverty, class divisions, and the relentless march of progress. The novel also features a delicate romance, offering moments of tenderness and hope amid the backdrop of daily toil and change. Jefferies' mastery of nature writing shines throughout, as he describes the fields, hedgerows, and wildlife with a poet's eye and a naturalist's precision. His deep connection to the land and its people is evident in every page, making « The Dewy Morn » a moving tribute to rural England and a poignant reflection on the passage of time. Readers who appreciate Victorian novels, pastoral romance, and thoughtful explorations of social change will find this book both evocative and thought-provoking.

Born in Coate, Wiltshire, Jefferies grew up surrounded by the fields and woods that would later inspire his writing. His childhood was marked by a deep connection to the countryside, despite the financial struggles of his farming family. These formative experiences shaped his lifelong passion for nature and his enduring concern for the lives of rural people. Jefferies established himself as a master of nature writing, producing essays and novels that capture the beauty and complexity of the English countryside. His works, including « The Dewy Morn », are characterized by their lyrical prose, keen observation, and thoughtful exploration of social and environmental issues.
