Summary: "Greene Ferne Farm" by Richard Jefferies is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in a rural landscape and focuses on the lives and interactions of various characters within a farming community, including the significant figure of Margaret Estcourt. The narrative explores themes of nature, love, and the social dynamics of rural life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a picturesque village scene, where two farmers, Hedges and Ruck, engage in gossip near the church before Sunday service. As the church bell tolls, village characters gather, and conversations unfold about local happenings, farm life, and the social hierarchy. The church is depicted as a space contrasting with the vibrant outside world, suffused with a sense of nostalgia and loss tied to the memories of past friends. As the chapter progresses, we meet young men and women, hinting at emerging romantic tensions, particularly surrounding Margaret, whose presence becomes a focal point in the lives of those around her. The opening sets the stage for both a rich portrayal of rural English life and the personal stories that will develop amid the backdrop of agricultural traditions and community relationships.
