Robinson Jeffers Family Travel Diaries: Volume One, British Isles, 1929

Book Overview

In June 1929, the distinguished poet Robinson Jeffers--along with his wife Una and their twelve-year-old twin sons Donnan and Garth--set sail for Ireland, their first stop on a seven-month journey throughout the British Isles. During extended stays in Ireland, Scotland, and England, all four members of the family contributed to a remarkable travel diary recording their individual responses to the places and people that they encountered. The descriptions include many vivid observations as well as evident of Robinson's and Una's extensive knowledge of the history, literature, art, music, folklore, and architecture of the places that they explored. Readers of Jeffers will find much that adds to their understanding of the poet and his work.
