![]() Her book never flags in its zeal for its subject, or in its presentation of original ideas, which is much to its credit, given that walking is as easy to overlook as, say, breathing. Solnit sheds light, too, on less rarefied walking-on urban strolls, political marches, garden excursions, romantic rambles, pilgrimages, promenades and aerobic constitutionals. The same has been true, we learn, of a multitude of poets who versified afoot, Wordsworth, perhaps, most famously among them. It was not so much a matter of deciding as accepting the inevitability of it. ![]() One of its subjects is “the pace of thoughts,” or the intimate relationship between thinking and walking as it turns out, a host of deep cogitators and philosophers-Bentham, Hegel, Kant, Kierkegaard, Mill, Wittgenstein-walked habitually as a spur to their work.

While its subtitle describes it as a history of walking, “Wanderlust” is interested in far more than that. In her acknowledgments for “Wanderlust,” Rebecca Solnit points out that “walking has a multitude of amateurs.” She isn’t one of them, as her book attests. Photo: john finney/Getty Images Wanderlustġ.

I don’t recall any mention of Borges here. She sees these as a means of undertaking pilgrimage in a confined space, a sort of symbolic pilgrimage. Labyrinths are the subject of the next section. Many go on pilgrimage in quest of healing or solace. She’s astute in summing up the essence of why people feel the impulse to set off on such gruelling trips: often, unlike sturdy hikers, these are walkers who are infirm or frail. Then she has a section on that particularly focused kind of walking: pilgrimages, from those in the Americas, to Compostela and the medieval and later European pilgrim destinations (but I don’t recall a mention of Chaucer and Canterbury, and there’s no such entry in the index maybe I missed it). She explores the archaeology and anthropology of bipedalism, and the consequences of our ancient ancestors’ rising from all fours to an upright position that enabled perambulation, and the evolutionary and cultural developments that followed. This is a scholarly, well-researched and readable account of walking – its history, and how and why humans go for walks, often with no particular goal in mind. ![]() Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A history of walking. ![]() ![]()
