Rambles Beyond Railways; or, Notes in Cornwall taken A-foot

In “Rambles Beyond Railways; or, Notes in Cornwall taken A-foot,” Wilkie Collins embarks on an evocative journey through the picturesque landscapes of Cornwall, offering readers an intricate tapestry of travel writing intertwined with vivid personal reflections. Written in a time when railway expansion began to dominate travel, Collins's literary style combines thoughtful observation with a conversational tone, as he articulates the stark contrasts between the industrial advancements and the untouched beauty of nature. His rich descriptions and detailed accounts not only capture the geography of the region but also resonate with emerging themes in Victorian literature regarding modernity and the reverence for nature. Wilkie Collins, a contemporary of Charles Dickens, was deeply influenced by the natural environment and the social changes of his time. Having faced challenges, including health issues and societal expectations, Collins sought refuge in the wild landscapes of Cornwall, where he found inspiration. His experiences as a popular novelist and playwright inform his narrative, blending a desire for escapism with keen observations on the human condition. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in travel literature, Victorian history, and the early critiques of industrialization. Collins's unique perspective invites readers to savor the beauty of Cornwall while pondering deeper existential themes, making it a delightful yet thought-provoking read.
