RICHARD JEFFERIES’ MYSTICISM.

By EDNA MANNING.

Richard Jefferies' work is distinguished from other naturalist recorders such as W.H. Hudson and Gilbert White because it contains a deeper significance and mystical experience allied with a love of nature. He was misunderstood in his own day as he is in some quarters to–day, and this is partly because mysticism is misunderstood by many.
