"The South Country" by Edward Thomas is a reflective travelogue written in the early 20th century. In this book, the author shares his impressions from a year of wandering through the picturesque southern counties of England, particularly focusing on the beauty of Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Wiltshire, and Cornwall. With a lyrical and poetic prose style, Thomas captures the essence of the landscapes, the changing seasons, and his deep connection to nature. The opening of the work presents a vivid and detailed description of the "South Country." It begins by establishing the geographic context, explaining the significance of this area in relation to other parts of England. Thomas expresses his preference for uninhabited paths and the tranquility found away from towns, where he can immerse himself in the natural beauty surrounding him. Through rich imagery, he reflects on the diverse landscapes, the rivers, and the flora that characterize the countryside while expressing a longing for solitude and an intimate relationship with the land. This opening sets the tone for a meditative exploration of both the physical and emotional landscapes as he embarks on his journey through the South Country.
