This dissertation examines the crosscurrents of race, gender, and ecology in the physical and metaphorical gardens of four American writers in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. For the authors in this project-Henry David Thoreau, Emily Dickinson, Effie Lee Newsome, and Anne Spencer-gardens are sites of contradiction, allegory, praxis, and heritage. The four chapters of this project correspond to each author's experimental and horticultural endeavors that inspired enviro-cultural interventions into social and political issues of their time. The chapters of this project focus, respectively, on: an agricultural paradox that illuminates Thoreau's complicated feelings about philosophical truth and environmental ethics in his nineteenth-century context; wildflower ecology and Dickinson's alternatives to gender stereotypes in Victorian flower symbolism; the enviro-racial pedagogy for African American children in Effie Lee Newsome's Gladiola Garden; and Anne Spencer's ecopoetics of self-determination as a form of advocacy for Black women. For each author, gardening activated a meaningful connection to the natural world that guided their worldviews and influenced their aesthetics. Environmentally-motivated scholarship-ecopoetics, "green writing," ecomaterialism-represents an important vein of research that uncovers the intrinsic connections between humans and their habitat through literary analysis. This project engages with these dialogues and adds fresh insight through close readings that reveal environmental influence in the works of these authors in their own times.
