Richard Jefferies’ ‘After London; Or, Wild England’ is a post-apocalyptic novel set in a future England that has been transformed by environmental disaster. The book explores the struggle for survival in a world where civilization has collapsed, and nature has reclaimed the land. Jefferies’ vivid descriptions of the landscape and the characters’ quest for food and shelter create a haunting and immersive reading experience. The novel’s portrayal of a desolate yet beautiful world reflects the late 19th-century concerns about industrialization and its impact on the environment. Jefferies’ lyrical prose style and attention to detail elevate ‘After London’ to a work of literary merit, blending elements of science fiction and pastoral literature. Readers will find themselves captivated by the eerie atmosphere and thought-provoking themes presented in this early example of dystopian fiction. Scholars of eco-criticism and Victorian literature will appreciate the significance of Jefferies’ work in the context of the period’s changing attitudes towards the natural world.
