About this book
The Treatment of Nature in English Poetry Between Pope and Wordsworth is a work by Myra Reynolds. The text quotes Sir James Mackintosh, as given by Mitford, as saying that Gray was the first discoverer of the natural beauties in England. The author says the dogmatic absoluteness of such a statement is its own ruin, and that Gray had at least three predecessors, Dalton, Amory, and Brown, in recognizing beauty.
The book says the grounds at Longleat were laid out between 1682 and 1690 under the supervision of London. The book calls Sir William Temple's essay on gardening the most important article on gardening published in England in the seventeenth century. The text names Biese's “Die Entwickelung des Naturgefühls im Mittelalter und in der Neuzeit” (1888) as unquestionably the most important of the books that treat of Nature in the realm of art. The book quotes a long simile in which the damask rose among the lilies is set beside Sophia, looking a hundred charms, with her thoughts fixed on her Tommy.
