About the Book

THE STORY OF MY HEART - 1883. - PREFACE - THE title of this book is The Story of my Heart my Autobiography, but it is not an autobiography in the ordinary sense of the word. In contains no history of the events of Richard Jefferies life. It is in no way concerned with his birth or his marriage, his actions or his fortunes. All that is known of these has been told in The Eulogy of Richard Jefferies, jJ by Walter Besant. Sunt Idchryma rerum, as the ancient poet sang, and for those who have tears to shed, what story is there more sure to draw them than that tale of heroic struggle against the agony of disease, of genius unappreciated until it was too late, of lofty aspirations and noble thought cut short all too soon But none of these things are dwelt on in The Story of my Heart. Surely it is one of the most singular books that man of genius ever wrote. It is well described by its title. It is an outpouring of Jefferies innermost soul. Like many another, he found himself at odds with the world. He saw the beauty of the land, the grandeur of the sea, the interest of life-above all of human lifebut he was not satisfied. He longed for more beauty, a fuller grandeur, a deeper interest. This feeling completely mastered him, and in The Story of my HeartJ he poured out with what strength and what skill he possessed the intensity of his longing. In republishing such a book it will not be thought out of place to gather together such few scraps of his writing as remain which seem to throw light on its genesis and its meaning. On June 22, 1883, Jefferies wrote as follo l s -DEAR SIR, -Thank you for the concession - I will write the story-sketches and send them. Mentally, the peasant paper is written Imean it is composed the MS. shall reach you in good time. I have just finished writing a book about which I have been meditating seventeen years. I have called it The Story of my Heart an Autobiography, and it really is an autobiography, an actual record of thought. After so much thinking it only makes one small volume-there are no words wasted in it. I do not know whether or no you would care to see the MS. if so, I will forward it-I do not mean for the Magazine, . . . I wonder if you would like my autobiographical confessions. I remain, faithfully yours, C. J. LONGMAN E, s q. Jefferies was born in 1848 so that he must have begun thinking about this book when he was eighteen years old. On June z 7, I 883, he wrote -I have much pleasure in sending you the MS. by letter post. My book is a real record-unsparing to myself as to all things - absolutely and unflinchingly true. The book was accepted, and published in due course. On November 3, I 883, he wrote - PREFACE ix DEAR SIR, -Some time since I received a circular asking for an analysis of My Autobiography for your Notes on Books, I have made several futile attempts to concentrate in a short note what I intended to convey in the volume. I find it impossible to do so. I have therefore endeavoured to place myself as it were outside the book, and to look at it as a stranger might...
