Abstract

The essay examines Alexander Pope's dual role as poet and land artist through his creation of a grotto at Twickenham and his description of his grotto in verse and letters. With a focus on Pope's practical approach to art, it highlights Pope's ecological aesthetics and his ability to create environments using the different media of words and earth.
