Excerpt from Rural Hours Saturday, March Mia - Everything about us looks thoroughly wintry still, and fresh snow lies on the ground to the depth of a foot. One quite enjoys the sleighing, however, as there was very little last month. Drove several miles down the valley this morn ing in the teeth of a sharp wind, and flurries of snow, but after facing the cold bravely, one brings home a sort of virtuous glow which is not to be picked up by cowering over the fireside; it is with this as with more important matters, the effort brings its own reward.

Collected here are detailed and diverse essays, some that examine Rural Hours, Susan Fenimore Cooper's most famous work, and others that help establish Cooper as a major practitioner and theorist of American nature writing and as a socially engaged artist in many other genres. These essays discuss Cooper's uses and manipulations of various literary conventions, such as the picturesque, the literary village sketch, and domestic fiction, and illuminate her positions on conservation, religion, and woman's place in society. The engaging collection is divided into four sections. The first features essays examining Cooper's work in light of her relationship with her famous literary father, James Fenimore Cooper, and their devotion to and cultivation of each other's careers. The second focuses on Cooper's fascination with landscape and its relation to her environmental philosophies. Rural Hours is the subject of the third section, which presents new readings on its subtly crafted authorial stance, its two complementary conceptions of time, and its re-valuation of rural and scientific ways of knowing. The collection concludes with four works whose insights into Cooper's views on gender, domesticity, and environmental philosophy grow out of comparisons with several contemporary women writers. These remarkable essays by both established and emerging scholars of nineteenth-century literature present new findings and insights into a writer who is being reintroduced to the fields of eco-criticism and American literature.

‘A superb portrait of the complex imprint the countryside makes on the life of the mind ... A treasure’ Doireann Ní Ghríofa In Rural Hours, Harriet Baker tells the story of three very different women, each of whom moved to the countryside and was forever changed by it. We encounter them at quiet moments – pausing to look at an insect on the windowsill; jotting down a recipe; or digging for potatoes, dirt beneath their nails. Slowly, we start to see transformations unfold: Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Townsend Warner, and Rosamond Lehmann emerge before us as the passionate, visionary writers we know them to be. Following long periods of creative uncertainty and private disappointment, each of Baker's subjects is invigorated by new landscapes, and the daily trials and small pleasures of making a home; slowly, they embark on new experiments in form, in feeling and in living that would resonate throughout the rest of their lives. In the country, each woman finds her path: to convalescence and recovery; to sexual and political awakening; and, above all, to personal freedom and creative flourishing. In graceful, fluid prose, Baker vividly recreates these overlooked episodes, revealing how ‘rural hours’ defined the lives of three pioneering writers. In the end, she shows, their example is an invitation to us all: to recognize the radical and creative potential of rural places, and find new enchantment in the rituals of each day. ‘Warm, perceptive, eloquent ... Like Baker’s protagonists in their countryside boltholes I felt “socketed” by this book. I know I’ll return to it again and again’ Lauren Elkin ‘A meditative exploration of renewal, visionariness, grievous loss, and love – cool and passionate, fragile and enduring’ David Hayden

From the Journal of Rural Art, Vol. 5, 1850: We welcome Miss Cooper's Rural Hours, therefore, as we would welcome a clear spring of sweet water, gushing out of a cool mossy bank, after a dusty day's travel. What deep and pure draughts of simple rustic enjoyments one drinks from its pages. What a healthy spirit, like a soft but fresh breeze, breathes through its characters. What a feeling of serenity and peace of mind, like the calm of an October day, pervades it. Here is the exact counterpoise which so many of our young people need for their overexerted imaginations. Here is a natural spring of sweet water, which, if they will only live in the country and drink daily, is sure to react upon their jaded spirits-jaded with the one-sided culture of society or society novels. "What," exclaims some of our readers, "do you find all this in a book that is only a diary of ordinary country life? A book that gives an account of a walk in the woods, of maple trees, squirrels, crickets and swallows? A book without a story-which begins with a snowstorm, and ends with a sunset?" Yes, you are quite right. There is no story, but the story of the earth-the oldest of all story books-and no incidents but the incidents of nature-God's incidents. But do you think such incidents too trifling and commonplace for your attention? Do you think it pleasant or wise to live three score years in a world so full of curious and wonderful facts, that great and learned men have spent ages in diving but a little way into them, and never recognise their existence? Is it of no consequence that you do not know, even by name, the trees and flowers, the birds and animated nature, the rocks and stones under your feet? Ah! believe us, there is a great heart in the bosom of nature, which you may hear beat if you will only confidingly and trustingly woo her daily in her secret haunts. Yes, you may fall in love with nature; and it is a passion that grows - not weakens - by enjoyment; a feeling that calms - not excites - the soul; a sentiment that always ennobles, and never degrades the heart. We welcome Miss Cooper's volume, also, because it proves to us that time and culture will develop in our fair countrywomen that fondness for nature, and that nice observation of it, which are among the rarest and best traits of national character; traits, we may add, which one only sees in the Anglo-Saxon and northern nations.
