Books with author W. H. (William Henry) Hudson

William Henry Hudson (1841-1922) was an Argentinian-born American naturalist and author, who moved to England in 1874, and became known for his writings on natural history, both Argentine and English, and for his work with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. He travelled the country, observing wildlife and rural life in general, and won high praise both for his work as a naturalist and for his literary style. A Shepherd's Life, published in 1910, contains his impressions of the Wiltshire Downs - the people, places, wildlife and history - which are enhanced by numerous line-drawings. The central character of the book, Caleb Bawcombe, an elderly shepherd, is fictitious, but clearly based on real people Hudson had talked to in Wiltshire, and the overall picture is of continuing closeness to nature, despite enormous changes in agricultural practice, in rural societies at the end of the nineteenth century.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

THOSE who have become interested in the work of W. H. Hudson will open this volume with a keen curiosity. They will wish to know whether the atmospheric charm and the sincere nature-worship of "Green Mansions" have been continued here with anything like the same artistry. They will demand whether the rising vogue of Hudson amounts to a genuine literary revival or whether it depends simply on a happy accident followed by a publishers' boom. These tales are partly republicans, partly new versions of old material. But in either case they belong to past generations both by their themes and by their treatment. The place is South America, especially the Argentine, of nearly a century ago; the individual manner is equally aloof from present-day considerations. "El Ombii," the first nouvelle, concerns a series of fatalities befalling a house—one is reminded of the importance attached to the House in "The Crystal Age"—and it attempts to combine several distinct stories with various irrelevant episodes. The result gives the keynote of Mr. Hudson's manner. As plot, his story-telling is decidedly scrappy, leisurely, naive. Such unity as he gets is a unity of temperament and atmosphere, sustained in this case through the narrative medium of an old Spaniard, whose style and psychology are admirably rendered. William Henry Hudson (1841–1922) was an author, naturalist, and ornithologist. William Henry Hudson was an author, naturalist and ornithologist. He was born in the Quilmes Partido in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, where he is considered to belong to the national literature as Guillermo Enrique Hudson, the Spanish version of his name. He spent his youth studying the local flora and fauna and observing both natural and human dramas on what was then a lawless frontier, publishing his ornithological work in Proceedings of the Royal Zoological Society, initially in an English mingled with Spanish idioms.
