The Gamekeeper Hines Barry
George Purse is an ex-steelworker employed as a gamekeeper on a ducal country estate. He must ensure that the Duke and his guests have good hunts when the shooting season comes round on the Glorious Twelfth; he must ensure that the poachers who sneak onto the land in search of food do not.Season by season, over the course of a year, George makes his rounds. He gathers, hand-rears and treasures the birds to be shot at by his wealthy employers.
He is a laborer, who knows the natural world well and sees it without sentimentality.Rightly acclaimed as a masterpiece of nature writing as well as a radical statement on work and class, The Gamekeeper was also, like Hines's A Kestrel for a Knave (Kes), adapted by Hines and filmed by Ken Loach, and it too stands as a haunting classic of twentieth-century He is not a romantic hero.
