Amid all the human and animal deaths, urban and natural decay, and general catastrophic destruction that preoccupy the prose of the Anglo-German author W. G. Sebald, his characters nevertheless find solace in green spaces, specifically gardens, where they recuperate after suffering a variety of afflictions. In his texts, The Emigrants (1995), The Rings of Saturn (1998), and Austerlitz (2001), Sebald depicts men who have been traumatized by the modern horrors of world war, displacement, genocide, or the death of a loved one as a result of one of these atrocities or, in the most extreme cases, all of the above. This chapter aspires to conduct a close analysis of the role of gardens in these texts and argues that because of their rehabilitative properties, he cultivates an ecopoetics of salubrity. Further, they function as sites of resistance where modern notions of humanity and progress are eschewed in favor of wholeness and inactivity. Their subversive role challenges Anthropocenic views of the planet as an object on which to engineer human progress. Rather, gardens foreclose anthropogenic activity and allow for the health of the planet as well as its dwellers to improve.
