There has, in recent years, been an explosion of writing about
place, landscape and the natural world. But within this, women's
voices have remained in the minority. This anthology gathers the
voices of women from the fourteenth to the twenty-first centuries
whose subject is the natural world in Britain, Ireland and the
outlying islands of our archipelago. Alongside the traditional
forms of the travelogue, the walking guide, books on birds, plants
and wildlife, Women on Nature embraces alternative modes of seeing
and recording that turn the genre on its head. Katharine Norbury
has sifted though the pages of women's fiction, poetry, biography,
gardening diaries and recipe books and garnered accounts from
artists, farmers, theologians and natural scientists to demonstrate
the multitudinous ways in which women have observed the world about
them. From the fourteenth-century spiritual revelations of Julian
of Norwich to the seventeenth-century travel journals of Celia
Fiennes, and including a host of twenty-first-century voices such
Sarah Evans, Sinead Gleeson, Kathleen Jamie, Jackie Kay, Rachel
Lichtenstein, Amy Liptrot, Helen Mort, Anita Sethi and more, Women
on Nature presents a fresh vision of the natural world and is of
unique importance in terms of women's history and the history of
writing about nature.
