Gender and the Garden in Early Modern English Literature
Radical reconfigurations in gardening practice in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England altered the social function of the garden, offering men and women new opportunities for social mobility. While recent work has addressed how middle class men used the garden to attain this mobility, the gendering of the garden during the period has gone largely unexamined. This new study focuses on the developing gendered tension in gardening that stemmed…

Manuscript and published papers make it clear, however, that Somerset's work with plants was impressive and influential, hardly an…
