Problematyka eseju skupia się na kwestii obrazu kobiety jako Innej w różnych rolach statusowych, np. żony, cudzoziemki, szlachcianki. Analiza, bazująca na wykazaniu strukturalnej opozycji pomiędzy naturą a kulturą, opiera się na twórczości angielskiej pisarki epoki edwardiańskiej Elizabeth von Arnim. Bohaterka prozy von Arnim jako Inna znajduje się duchowo w fazie liminalnej. Na płaszczyźnie realnej obrazem jej stanu jest topos ogrodu jako hortus conclusus.

The essay focuses on the image of a woman as the Other in various status roles, such as a wife, a foreigner, a gentlewoman. The analysis, which aims to demonstrate the existence of a structural opposition between nature and culture, is based on the works of the English Edwardian writer, Elizabeth von Arnim. As the Other, the heroine of her prose finds herself mentally in the betwixt-and-between (liminal) time. On the material plane the expression of her state is the literary topos of a garden as hortus conclusus.
