The Fall of the Year (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Autumn Nature Essays on Bird Migration, Woodland Life, and the New England CountrysideBy Dallas Lore Sharp
Length3h 21m
About this audiobook
The Fall of the Year is a richly observant nature book that follows autumn not as a mere season of decline, but as a dramatic interval of migration, harvest, preparation, and hidden renewal. Written in lucid, lyrical prose, its essays combine field observation with moral and imaginative reflection, placing Sharp within the American tradition of literary naturalists who made the local landscape a site of wonder and instruction. The style is intimate and pedagogical, attentive to birds, woods, weather, and rural life. Dallas Lore Sharp (1870–1929), a Massachusetts-born educator, minister, and prolific nature writer, brought to his work both a scholar's discipline and a countryman's affection for lived experience outdoors. As a professor of English at Boston University, he understood the shaping power of language; as an observer of fields, marshes, and woodlots, he sought to cultivate reverence for the ordinary. His books often reflect the Progressive Era belief that nature study could refine perception and character. This volume is recommended for readers who value reflective natural history, elegant essays, and early twentieth-century environmental sensibility. It will especially reward teachers, students of American nature writing, and anyone wishing to recover a slower, more attentive way of seeing the seasonal world.
