Robert Zaller, Distinguished Professor of History Emeritus, Drexel University “Published now in its entirety in a handsome and meticulous edition, this first volume of the travel diaries of the Jefferses in Ireland, Scotland, and England is a collective portrait that is our richest single source of the family life of America’s most powerful modern poet.” This is the first of four extended trips to the British Isles, the only location that prompted them to travel abroad.” As we observe the British Isles through Robinson’s, Una’s, Garth’s, and my father Donnan’s eyes, a vanishing world is brought vividly to life, and we see each member of the Jeffers family in a completely new way. “The 1929 Travel Diary provides an intimate portrait of four diverse personalities. Readers of Jeffers will find much that adds to their understanding of the poet and his work. The descriptions include many vivid observations as well as evidence of Robinson’s and Una’s extensive knowledge of the history, literature, art, music, folklore, and architecture of the places that they explored. During extended stays in Ireland, Scotland, and England, all four members of the family contributed to a remarkable travel diary recording their individual responses to the places and people that they encountered. In June 1929, the poet Robinson Jeffers-along with his wife Una and their twelve-year-old twin sons Donnan and Garth-set sail for Ireland, their first stop on a seven-month journey throughout the British Isles.
