Exploring the work of writers including D. H. Lawrence, John Clare, George Crabbe and Ted Hughes, Molly Mahood considers the responses of poets to botany in its Georgian and Victorian heyday, and to the ecology that has largely replaced it.

Críticas:

Review of the hardback: 'Mahood's grasp of the history of botany and botany as a whole is admirable; few professional botanists, working as they do in ever more specialised fields, could match her overview of their subject. ... Mahood leads, almost forces, us to look at both botany and poetry with fresh eyes, and notice details which we have failed to examine or study for many years.' Roy Vickery, John Clare Society Journal

Review of the hardback: 'Mahood concludes ... with a thoughtful explanation of the way in which nature poetry was discredited during the twentieth century.' Ellen J. Jenkins

'Mahood's writing is both inviting and engaging, and the chapters on Erasmus Darwin, Crabbe and Clare make particularly important contributions to the growing body of scholarship on these hitherto underexplored poets.' Annotated Bibliography of English Studies
