Synopsis
The Invitation;: A Rhyming And Locodescriptive Epistle, Containing Sketches Of Scenery In Wilts And Dorset; Addressed To My Brother-In-Law, J.M by George Monkland is a nineteenth-century rhymed epistle that surveys the scenery around Wiltshire and Dorset. It blends descriptive topography with personal dedication and light satire, offering sketches of hills, rivers, churches, abbeys, and country houses from Windgreen and Donhead to Wardour, Fonthill, Stonehenge, and Stourhead. The poem pairs natural vistas with historical notes, antiquities, and portraits of patrons and local figures, while also reflecting on rural life, social issues, hunting laws, and parish relief. Framed as an affectionate invitation to share country pleasures away from city life, it mingles travelogue, lyric meditation, and moral commentary. Published in 1833 and dedicated to Rev. Francis Skurray, the work embodies Romantic-era interest in landscape, heritage, and regional identity, celebrating England’s pastoral beauty and its evolving social landscape. This edition includes a prefatory note and an extended analysis of venues such as Wardour Castle, Stonehenge, and Longleat.
