My dissertation argues that the central concerns in the work of Edith Wharton are writing and sexuality, and that the best way to understand the connections between them is to read Wharton's gardens--the textual, the metaphorical, and the actual. To this end my methodology is biographical as much as it is textual and cultural in its approach. I investigate the garden in a variety of Wharton's texts, including: Fast and Loose, Italian Villas and Their Gardens, The House of Mirth, The Reef, Hudson River Bracketed and The Gods Arrive; I also consider the unpublished correspondence between Wharton and Beatrix Farrand, as well as Wharton's unpublished articles about gardening in France. I also examine two prominent gardens that Wharton herself landscaped: The Mount, in Lenox, Massachusetts, and Ste. Claire, at Hyeres, on the French Riviera. As these texts make clear, particularly when read against the background of an emerging American landscape architecture in the late nineteenth century, the garden assumes a tremendous importance for Wharton, as a woman and as a writer. The garden is, as I argue in this dissertation, the single most important metaphor in Wharton's writing: it constructs and reveals women's sexuality, and it participates in the articulation and expression of women's creativity. The sexual awakenings and the writerly beginnings and endings that resonate in the garden articulate Wharton's sense of herself as a woman and an artist. Wharton's garden is not about revolution: it is about finding a way into the world of art, of writing, of sexuality, that is not at odds with that world. By making the garden a space inhabitable by women, Wharton transforms it into a space in which women can be both artistically and sexually expressive.
