Writing on the cusp of modern botany and during the heyday of
English herbals and garden manuals, Shakespeare references at least
180 plants in his works and makes countless allusions to
horticultural and botanical practices. Shakespeare's Botanical
Imagination moves plants to the foreground of analysis and brings
together some of the rich and innovative ways that scholars are
expanding the discussion of plants and botany in Shakespeare's
writings. The essays gathered here all emphasize the
interdependence and entanglement of plants with humans and human
life, whether culturally, socially, or materially, and vividly
illustrate the fundamental role plants play in human identity. As
they attend to the affinities and shared materiality between plants
and humans in Shakespeare's works, these essays complicate the
comfortable Aristotelian hierarchy of human-animal-plant. And as
they do, they often challenge the privileged position of humans in
relation to non-human life.
