Wanderings through unknown Austria
by Randolph Llewellyn Hodgson
About the author
Born in 1870, Randolph Llewellyn Hodgson was an English Anglican vicar and writer. He is known for travel writing, including Wanderings through Unknown Austria, and for his long-running contributions to The Cricketer under the pen name "A Country Vicar."
Hodgson’s writing suggests a patient, observant traveler who enjoyed places that felt overlooked rather than fashionable. That combination of pastoral life, wide interests, and clear prose helps explain why his work can still feel approachable to modern listeners.
He died in 1952. Alongside his books, his reputation rests on the appealing mix of country parson, sports enthusiast, and curious wanderer that runs through his published work.
