Hodge And His Masters
By Richard Jefferies
Published by Smith, Elder & Co: London 1880 1st Edition 2 Volume Set

" Richard Jefferies' Hodge and His Masters is a richly observed study of rural England during the late Victorian era, blending reportage, natural history and social commentary. Presented through a series of vivid sketches, Jefferies examines the everyday lives of agricultural labourers ("Hodge"), farmers, landowners and country tradespeople, portraying a world in transition as traditional rural practices confronted new technologies, changing labour conditions and the pressures of modernisation. His prose is both lyrical and keenly analytical, capturing the rhythms of the countryside while revealing the economic and social realities beneath its pastoral surface.

Published in 1880 as a two-volume first edition, this work stands as one of Jefferies' most important contributions to rural literature and social observation, valued for its authenticity and its early recognition of a vanishing agrarian way of life. The set offers an invaluable contemporary record of Victorian rural society and remains a cornerstone for readers interested in agricultural history, nature writing and English social conditions of the period. This first edition will appeal to collectors of Jefferies' works, enthusiasts of 19th-century rural studies, and readers drawn to finely written depictions of traditional countryside life."
