Beneath My Feet: Writers on Walking

Author Duncan Minshull, a lifelong walker, has written and published books on the subject for the past twenty years. He’s described walking for various publications, including The Times, Financial Times, Condé Nast Traveler, and Vogue. He’s also edited two collections on walking: While Wandering and The Burning Leg. Walking and writing have always been intertwined. Poets and novelists use walking to create rhythms and characters. However, the best insights into walking come from nonfiction—essays, travelogues, and memoirs.

This book features memorable walker-writers from the 1700s to the modern day, including country hikers, urban strollers, rationalists, and outlandish individuals. Follow in the footsteps of William Hazlitt, George Sand, Rebecca Solnit, Will Self, and many others.
