THE SPECTATOR
That the writings of Richard Jefferies were hugely influential on HW's own development as a writer – and indeed on his life – is well documented. For further information, see the page on Richard Jefferies.
Samuel J. Looker was a lifelong enthusiast of Jefferies and his works, and published a number of collections of Jefferies' essays. His biography of Jefferies, reviewed below in The Spectator, was published posthumously, with Crichton Porteous completing the unfinished book.
