"In a Green Shade: A Country Commentary" by Maurice Hewlett is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The work reflects on rural life and the author's observations about society, nature, and the changing values in post-World War I England. Through thoughtful and often poetic reflections, the author critiques contemporary social issues while celebrating the simplicity and wisdom found in country living. The opening of the commentary introduces Hewlett's personal philosophy toward life in the countryside, emphasizing the importance of community, nature, and contemplative living. He paints a picture of his idyllic surroundings, describing interactions with neighbors and the natural world, all while hinting at the spiritual and social changes brought by the recent war. The narrative lays the groundwork for more extensive discussions on human behavior and societal evolution, revealing Hewlett’s earnest desire to connect with the universal aspects of existence that transcend time and place.
