The Peripatetic is framed by walking journeys to Richmond and St. Albans. The travelogue is broken by digressions on the Rights of Man and poems ranging from a satirical "Battle of the Books" between belles-lettres and the popular press to a beautiful ode inspired by the White Cliffs of Dover. There are character sketches and even a love story which weaves its way through the narrative. The prose is heavy, twenty words serve where one would do, and some of the poems simply don't work, but the uniqueness of this eccentric work more than compensates. ( )
