- catalog abstract ""This book is a unique 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, though famous, 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 who finally 'leaped the fence, and saw that all nature was a garden', is made abundantly clear. As ever, with her profound feel for both literature and landscape, Mavis Batey throws a refreshing and rewarding new light on her subject and shows why Pope has been, and remains, so crucial to our landscape."--Jacket.".
