I-II). First Collected Edition of the works of minor English poet and noted landscape theorist, William Shenstone. Shenstone was a contemporary of Samuel Johnson at Oxford. The first volume contains his elegies, odes, songs, ballads, humorous and moral writings, including his best-known poem, The Schoolmistress (1737), a burlesque imitation of Spenser which was highly praised by Johnson. The second consists of prose pieces including 'Unconnected Thoughts on Gardening' and 'A Description Of The Leasowes', with an engraved plan, describing the celebrated 'ferme ornée' which Shenstone designed at his country estate in Warwickshire and on which he lavished much time and money. It featured walks through woods and fields, adorned with urns and quotations from classical authors, and was described by Johnson as 'the envy of the great, and the admiration of the skilful; a place to be visited by travellers, and copied by designers'. A heritage grant of 1.3 million pounds was awarded in 1997 for the restoration of the estate. This set is complete with Volume III, which was published by Dodsley five years later and which consists of Shenstone's correspondence. NCBEL II 532. cfRothschild 1840 (2nd Edn.). …
