Augustus John Cuthbert Hare (1834–1903) was an English writer and raconteur, esteemed for his literary contributions that often reflect a distinctive Victorian sensibility. Born into a family that valued education and culture, Hare developed a passion for travel and storytelling at a young age. His literary style is characterized by meticulous descriptions, historical detail, and a certain quaint charm that resonates with the sensibilities of his time. Hare's oeuvre is diverse, yet he is particularly renowned for his travel writings and topographical studies, which include works such as 'Epitaphs for Country Churchyards' (1856). This volume offers a contemplative look into the rural resting places of England, capturing the poetic and philosophical inscriptions engraved on tombstones, serving as an early example of Hare's fascination with the ephemerality of life and the customs surrounding death and remembrance. His works not only provide valuable insights into the customs and social attitudes of the 19th century but also showcase Hare's talent for preserving the cultural heritage and bucolic landscapes through his prose. He was also notably a cousin of the poet Lord Byron, a connection that further underscores the literary lineage and cultural milieu to which Hare belonged. The enduring appeal of Hare's writing lies in its blend of historical documentation, personable narrative, and a deep-seated appreciation for the English countryside and its ecclesiastical heritage.
