Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Old England: A God´s-Eye View of a Village Fletton is essentially a type, its people are to be found in every village, and the author has taken the utmost pains to avoid giving the offence to his many rural friends which might arise from a work of this nature. There is a hamlet of Fletton but he has never set foot in it; there was an Earldom of Coote but it is extinct; the use of common names and characters may lend colour to suspicion among folk unaccustomed to being closely mirrored; but the author has not anywhere portrayed a living person. He was born and bred in the country, nearly all his life has been spent there, and he knows many villages intimately; but he has avoided the use of actual persons, and if any farmers, labourers, post-masters, or schoolmasters fancy themselves represented, he can only say that ten thousand others will be in the same position. During the serial appearance of portions of this work the author received letters from places as far apart as Cumberland, Bucks, and Devon, from people who declared that he must have been in their village. Each one of the several hundred souls depicted can doubtless be found corresponding in name, position, and temperament in some place, but these must rest assured that they have not been personally put down as typical of Old England.
