After London by Richard Jefferies Jefferies' novel can be seen as an early example of post-apocalyptic fiction. After some sudden and unspecified catastrophe has depopulated England, the countryside reverts to nature, and the few survivors to a quasi-medieval way of life. The first part, The Relapse into Barbarism, is the account by some later historian of the fall of civilisation and its consequences, with a loving description of nature reclaiming England. The second part, Wild England, is an adventure set many years later in the wild landscape and society. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Richard Jefferies’ After London (1885) is one of the most important early examples of “post-apocalyptic fiction”. The story tells of how London becomes a swampland after an unspecified natural disaster delivers England over to the mercy of nature: https://t.co/nsrohGhUxs https://t.co/HdixLCDGiA

We've been fascinated by the idea of green nature taking over our grey cities for a long time. Richard Jefferies imagined it in his 1885 eco-apocalyptic novel 'After London' " Ecologists started noticing the biodiversity of these places after World War II bombing. https://t.co/iAEs29H8i2

S. F. Said is a children's book author.

@JulieBertagna It's very close to mine too, which I think is why I'm drawn to this stuff. Other recent reading includes Richard Jefferies's After London, MP Shiel's The Purple Cloud - so there's a definite pattern to this!
