“Picciola, The Prisoner of Fenestrella’ is a fictional story of Charles Veramont, Count de Charney. He is imprisoned for treason against Napoleon and becomes obsessed with the fate of a plant, which he calls La Picciola, growing in the exercise yard. He finally emerges from prison with his beloved plant and a wife, the daughter of his jailer. The book deals with many theological and philosophical ideas including Leibnitz, Lock, Kant, pantheism, monotheism, God, and many more. Deppman illustrates the book’s philosophical significance when he points out that Emily Dickinson

“called this book ‘wonderous, new companion,’ and the fact that her cousin William Cowper Dickinson sent it to her suggests that he understood and encouraged her philosophical learning”
