AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Martin states that 'just like any other piece of ground or imaginative space, a garden is a location for power struggles and ideological clashes.' She uses two Victorian gardeners in the mid-nineteenth century to show how 'gardening is a gendered spatial practice, a colonising act, a private pleasure and a public, social, and socially directed practice'.
