Summary: "After London; Or, Wild England" by Richard Jefferies is a speculative novel written during the late 19th century. The book imagines a future England transformed into a primitive world after civilization has collapsed and nature has reclaimed the land. The narrative explores themes of technology, society, and the natural world, showcasing characters such as Felix Aquila, who navigates this wild and unfamiliar landscape. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of post-apocalyptic England, describing how nature has overrun the landscapes once dominated by human civilization. It depicts a time when cities are forgotten, transformed into marshes, and domesticated animals have reverted to wild forms. The narrative presents a detailed account of the flora and fauna that have reclaimed the land, emphasizing the environmental changes that have led to a society that regresses into tribalism and barbarism. This transition sets the stage for the adventures of Felix Aquila and the encounters he faces in this new wild England. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
