The Fallow land.

The Spectator: Eads 22. "The Fallow Land is much the best piece of work which Mr. Bates has done; and that means it is very good indeed. The Fallow Land carries Mr. Bates a step forward, and marks him as one of a handful who can write of the country with grace and authority."

Times Literary Supplement: Eads 23. "The Fallow Land is a poem of the English countryside which never loses its lyric intensity, its delicacy and yets its strength, from first to last."

The Times: Eads 23. "Beauty and sorrow become one in a single poignant harmony, binding the succession of incidents into a unity which is also a unison. Especially striking is the complete adequacy of detail. Every descriptive phrase, each metaphor, each adjective even is right, and with a natural, a wholly spontaneous rightness. Every character, like each instrument in an orchestra, has his or her appointed place and part, yet is vividly and individually alive; one comes to know them, to understand them, to fell with them."
