Summary "The Ingoldsby Country: Literary Landmarks of the 'Ingoldsby Legends'" by Charles G. Harper is a literary exploration written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a guide to the geographic and cultural landmarks that inspired the famous "Ingoldsby Legends," penned by Richard Harris Barham. Harper's narrative focuses on the significance of Kent, particularly and affectionately known as the Ingoldsby Country, highlighting its historical and literary connections through Barham's humor and storytelling. At the start of the text, the author introduces a humorous observation about a traveler who, despite experiencing far-off lands, remains virtually ignorant of the beauty and history of his own homeland, Kent. This anecdote sets the stage for an exploration of the county, blending personal nostalgia with a detailed overview of notable sites tied to Barham's life and work. Harper conveys a deep affection for the landscapes and history of Kent, detailing the beautiful countryside and its pivotal literary figures, particularly emphasizing the legacy of Barham and the tales that arose from the Ingoldsby region.
