Editorial Reviews
Book Description
A master of natural history writing, W. H. Hudson forms an important link between nineteenth-century Romanticism and the twentieth-century ecological movement. First published in 1904, Green Mansions is a poignant meditation on the loss of wilderness, the dream of a return to nature, and the
bitter reality of the encounter between savage and civilized man. This is the only critical edition available of this engrossing ecological fable.
