A description of the village as it used to be at the time oft the poet's youth.
A description of the village ''today'' in the poet's maturity.

That the town is idyllically and fictionally described in the first section ''England" while realistically and autobiographically described in the entire section.
The book contains charming vignettes of rural life while denouncing the eviction of the country poor at the hands of the wealthy landowners.
Goldsmith superbly written lines at times have lyrical qualities, his description of rustic characters and life particularly repeated references to the swain ( a somewhat mildly disguised allusion to his own childhood).
