Abstract (en)
Compares the literary conceit of the garden space in Madame de Lafayette's novel to the gardens at Versailles designed at the behest of Louis XIV by André Le Nôtre in 1678. Examines the definition of masculine power through garden design that was developed at Versailles, and shows that the use of garden spaces by the fictional Princess of Cleves parallels this strategy, while at the same time feminizing it.
