Description
In eighteenth-century England, some wealthy people built ruins on their estates, hired hermits to inhabit them, and took guests to view the pictures que results. While no one hires ornamental hermits anymore, society as a whole supports people like Thoreau or Edward Abbey who step aside to comment on ordinary life as critics or would-be prophets.
