This author is known for poems about his "country gentleman" lifestyle, most notable of which are "The Chace," on hunting, and "Field Sports," on hawking. In The Lives of the English Poets, Samuel Johnson commented that Somervile "[wrote] very well for a gentleman." He remains well-regarded for his depictions of life on a country estate.
