Two friends stroll the great landscape gardens at Stowe and argue about beauty as they go. William Gilpin's dialogue captures the eighteenth-century taste for temples, vistas, and carefully wild scenery, and the ideas that shaped the English garden. A founding text of picturesque design in conversational form. Walk Lord Cobham's famous grounds and take sides.
