Product Description
Product Description
This work provides a look at Pope's relationship with the leading garden makers of his time. Forever planning and plotting for his own grotto and for his modest five acres in Twickenham, his ideas were also sought at many of the great estates. His importance to Lord Burlington at Chiswick, Henrietta Howard at Marble Hill, and, above all, to William Kent, the great designer is made abundantly clear. The author sets out to throw new light on her subject and show why Pope has been, and remains, so crucial to our landscape.
From the Publisher
Pope's influence on 1700 attitudes to nature and landscape
Alexander Pope, the foremost poet of the new Augustan age, was responsible for a profound change in attitudes to nature and landscape. Beautifully illustrated, this is a unique look at his relationship with the leading garden makers of his time, Lord Burlington at Chiswick, Stowe, and William Kent at Rousham among many. Mavis Batey is the President of the Garden History Society.
