Abstract

Henry Beston’s _The Outermost House_ (1928) records, in a highly poetic fashion, a year spent in hermitic and “mystical” solitude by the Atlantic Ocean at Cape Cod. Deep reverence, sincere gratitude, and a sense of brotherhood with all creatures permeate Beston’s “poetics of wonder”. The dominant note of the book is wonder at the mysteries and miracles of Life and of creation.
