"Middlesex" by A. R. Hope Moncrieff is a descriptive travelogue written in the early 20th century. This work serves as an exploration of Middlesex, a county often overshadowed by its more popular neighbors, revealing its hidden charms and historical significance. The author invites readers to appreciate the scenic beauty and cultural heritage found in various locations within Middlesex, including notable areas like Hampstead and Highgate. The opening of the book sets a reflective tone as Moncrieff acknowledges the misperceptions surrounding Middlesex, comparing it unfavorably with neighboring counties such as Surrey. The author grapples with his previous criticisms while ultimately recognizing the county's unique allure, especially its beautiful landscapes and rich literary connections. He paints vivid pictures of the region’s hills, woods, parks, and gardens, interweaving historical anecdotes about its literary figures and cultural significance, thus laying the groundwork for a detailed examination of the county in subsequent chapters.
