Richard Jefferies is a dystopian novel that indeed envisions a future in which urban civilization has collapsed following an unspecified environmental disaster. The book is divided into two parts: ‚The Relapse into Barbarism, ‚ which describes the environmental and societal breakdown, and ‚Wild England, ‚ which follows the adventures of a protagonist navigating this transformed, medieval-like world. The novel paints a vivid picture of how nature reclaims the land, and society regresses to a feudal state, highlighting themes of nature, civilization, and survival.
