After London; Or, Wild England

Set in a post-apocalyptic England, the narrative explores the aftermath of a mysterious tragedy that decimates the population, allowing nature to reclaim the land. The first section examines the decline of civilization through the eyes of historians, while the second, "Wild England," presents an adventurous tale in a transformed, untamed world. Jefferies' evocative writing captures the haunting beauty of a reborn countryside, making this work a notable piece of eco-apocalyptic literature. Released in 1885, it reflects the author's struggles and creativity during his final years.
