Description

Summary This article seeks to address an apparent paucity of scholarly attention in two interrelated areas: a lack of detailed attention to the ecology of the suburban garden in South African urbanisation studies; and a dearth of attention to the suburban garden as locus and trope in South African literature. By briefly surveying urbanplanning and related studies, and then focusing on the experiential and phenomenological dimensions of the garden poems of Mariss Everitt, the article hopes to articulate a space within which urban ecocriticism can take firmer root in local literary scholarship, and in future branch out to interdisciplinary urbanisation studies.
