1831. Elizabeth Kent_s works are transitional between literary
accounts about plants and systematic, scientific accounts. Her
Flora Domestica, or the Portable Flower Garden, for which she is
best known, and Sylvan Sketches, integrate nature and narrative,
science and art, horticulture and romantic languages of nature in
ways that signify changing directions in early 19th century plant
culture, looking forward to a more scientific approach to the
subject. Sylvan Sketches describes 80 hardy trees and shrubs common
in England, providing factual information about the plants along
with their cultural associations and usages in other parts of the
world, citing explorers and travel writers.
