About the Book

"The Walk," a meditation on walking and on the literature of walking, ruminates on this pervasive, even commonplace, modern image. It is not so much an argument as a journey along the path of literature, noting the occasions and settings, the pleasures and possibilities of different types of walking--through the country or city, during day or night, alone or with someone--and the literatures--the poems, essays, stories, novels, and diaries--walking has produced.Jeffrey C. Robinson's discussion is less criticism than appreciation: with an autobiographical bent, he leads the reader through Romantic, modern, and contemporary literature to show us the shared pleasures of reading, writing, and walking.

About the Author :
Jeffrey C. Robinson has taught at the University of Colorado since 1971. His recent books include Wordsworth Day by Day: Reading His Work into Poetry Now, (Station Hill Press) and Unfettering Poetry: The Fancy in British Romanticism (Palgrave Macmillan). He is co-editor with Jerome Rothenberg of the forthcoming Poems for the Millennium, Vol. 3: The University of California Book of Romantic and Post-Romantic Poetry.

Review :
"Jeffrey C. Robinson's The Walk is a lively and intelligent omnibus for thinkers as well as for walkers. His evident love of literature is a genuine enthusiasm for all that is best in life." - Annie Dillard, editor of Modern American Memoirs 1996 "An elegant and eloquent persuasion to abandon the automobile." - Marilyn Krysl, founding editor of literary journal Many Mountains Moving"
