William Shenstone (18 November 1714 – 11 February 1763) was an English poet and one of the earliest practitioners of landscape gardening through the development of his estate, The Leasowes.
Son of Thomas Shenstone and Anne Penn, daughter of William Penn of Harborough Hall, then in Hagley (now Blakedown), Shenstone was born at the Leasowes, Halesowen. At that time this was an enclave of Shropshire within the county of Worcestershire and now in the West Midlands. Shenstone received part of his formal education at Halesowen Grammar School (now The Earls High School). In 1741, Shenstone became bailiff to the feoffees of Halesowen Grammar School.
While attending Solihull School, he began a lifelong friendship with Richard Jago. He went up to Pembroke College, Oxford in 1732 and made another firm friend there in Richard Graves, the author of The Spiritual Quixote.
Shenstone took no degree, but, while still at Oxford, he published Poems on various occasions, written for the entertainment of the author (1737). This edition was intended for private circulation only but, containing the first draft of The Schoolmistress, it attracted some wider attention. Shenstone tried hard to suppress it but in 1742 he published anonymously a revised draft of The Schoolmistress, a Poem in imitation of Spenser. The inspiration of the poem was Sarah Lloyd, teacher of the village school where Shenstone received his first education. Isaac D'Israeli contended that Robert Dodsley had been misled in publishing it as one of a sequence of Moral Poems, its intention having been satirical, as evidenced by the ludicrous index appended to its original publication.

Lecture date: 2010-12-10 The phrase 'plain space', taken from the words of the eighteenth century landscape gardener and poet, William Shenstone, captures something of the essence of what John Pawson has been trying to achieve over the past 30 years.

"Jealousy is the fear or apprehension of superiority: envy our uneasiness under it." - William Shenstone There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality. In this video I showcase Random PvP along side Swane/Unmatched against a squad of Axegroup, an interesting full pill buffed (Level 10 buffs) 1v1 Against Maxy/Godsent To see if we can pass boundaries. I'll have to admit, the full buffed 1v1 was rather interesting and fun at the same time, hitting/getting hit 15k+ zerk crits while full buffed with physical ornaments was something new, bypassing each others deaden nerves with full buffs was something.. intense.
