    Abstract
    Elizabeth Carter (1717-1806) was the most famous female classicist of the eighteenth century. This short essay focuses on a poem in which Carter protests the cutting down of a grove of trees. She inserts herself in a tradition of male classical figures whose thoughts were inspired by the environment, casting the natural grove as a gendered space for scholarly thought.
