In this episode, we use Leo Marx's time machine to travel through the garden -- a natural history spanning the brave new world of Shakespeare's 'The Tempest,' the mines and fields of the Victorian novel, the American wilderness (and our acts and actions there) -- toward a post-pastoral future that is yet to come.

Texts discussed in this episode:
The Machine in the Garden (Leo Marx)
Hard Times (Charles Dickens)
