Abstract
A chapter from the book "Cutting Edges: Postmodern Critical Essays on 18th Century Satire," edited by James E. Gill is presented. It tries to capture Alexander Pope's contribution to the invention of countryside as distinguished from the existence of the country. It notes how countryside exists only in the imagination of suburban intellectuals as an idyllic retreat but whose life appall and bore them. It suggest that Pope has the necessary knowledge to regulate countryside as it should be.
