"Gone to Earth" is a novel written by the English author Mary Webb, first published in 1917. Set in the rural Shropshire countryside, the novel is a poignant exploration of the clash between human desires and the untamed natural world. Webb's narrative centers around the life of Hazel Woodus, a young, innocent girl who is deeply connected to nature and her surroundings. Raised by her superstitious father, Hazel's life is intertwined with the folklore and traditions of the English countryside.

The novel delves into themes of innocence, passion, and the inevitable conflict between the purity of nature and the corrupting influence of society. Hazel's beauty and naivety attract the attention of two very different men: Edward Marston, a kind and gentle minister, and Jack Reddin, a ruthless squire. The ensuing love triangle forms the crux of the narrative, highlighting the stark contrasts between the characters' moral compasses and their approaches to life and love.

Webb's rich, descriptive prose vividly brings to life the Shropshire landscape, making it almost a character in its own right. Her portrayal of the natural world is both lyrical and evocative, reflecting her deep appreciation for the countryside and its traditions. The novel's title, "Gone to Earth," is a phrase used in fox hunting, symbolizing Hazel's ultimate fate as she becomes ensnared by the forces around her.

"Gone to Earth" received mixed reviews upon its initial publication but has since been recognized for its literary merit and its contribution to early 20th-century English literature. The novel's themes of nature, innocence, and societal conflict continue to resonate with readers, making it a significant work in Mary Webb's oeuvre. In 1950, the novel was adapted into a film by the British director Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, further cementing its place in the cultural landscape.
