I often find myself privately stewing about much British art, thinking that except for their tremendous gardens, that the English are not primarily visual artists, and are, in nearly unsurpassable ways, literary.

Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker believes British artists are not primarily known for their visual arts, except for their exceptional gardens. Instead, it indicates that the English excel in literary arts to an extent that is nearly unmatched. The quote implies that the speaker personally contemplates this observation privately and views literary expression as the prominent artistic realm of the English culture.
