Mary Webb Bücher
Mary Webb war eine englische Romanautorin des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts, deren Werke hauptsächlich in der Landschaft und unter den Menschen von Shropshire angesiedelt sind, die sie gut kannte und liebte. Ihr Schreiben zeichnet sich durch lebendige Naturbeschreibungen und tiefe Einblicke in das menschliche Herz aus. Sie hatte tiefes Mitgefühl für all ihre Charaktere und konnte in jedem von ihnen Gutes und Wahres erkennen. Webbs unverwechselbarer Stil zeichnet sich oft durch lyrische Prosa aus, die die natürliche Welt kunstvoll mit dem emotionalen Leben ihrer Charaktere verknüpft.

Mary Webb was passionately devoted to revealing nature in all of its expressions and forms. She was diagnosed with Graves' disease at the age of 20, and in times of recovery she early noticed that her love of nature sped her healing. She also, in these sensitive times of contemplation and struggle, saw the natural world more tenderly and luminously; the urgencies of life were clearer. The Spring of Joy collects together a group of exquisite essays of appreciation, written with the idea of succouring 'the weary and wounded in the battle of life.' They are an extraordinary record of a woman's empathy, not only for the beauty, colour, form, delicacy and majesty of the natural world, but also for her fellow human beings who suffer.
A work of rare poetic beauty in the tradition of the Brontes and Hardy
