About this Episode

John and I continue our series on Leo Marx’s The Machine in the Garden: Technology and the Pastoral Ideal in America.

This chapter delves deep into the symbol of the garden—we dive into Marx’s reading of Jefferson, the nature of the pastoral ideal and how it evolved, the vision of Virginia, and more.
