A captivating, beautifully illustrated, one-of-a-kind color
compendium of the flowers, fruits, herbs, trees, seeds, and grasses
cited in the works of the world's greatest playwright, William
Shakespeare, accompanied by their companion quotes from all of his
plays and poems. With a foreword by Dame Helen Mirren-the first
foreword she has ever contributed. In this striking compilation,
Shakespeare historian Gerit Quealy and respected Japanese artist
Sumie Hasegawa combine their knowledge and skill in this first and
only book that examines every plant that appears in the works of
Shakespeare. Botanical Shakespeare opens with a brief look at the
Bard's relationship to the plants mentioned in his works-a
diversity that illuminates his knowledge of the science of botany,
as well as the colloquy, revealing his unmatched skill for creating
metaphorical connections and interweaving substantive philosophy.
At the heart of the book are "portraits" of the over 170 flowers,
fruits, grains, grasses, trees, herbs, seeds and vegetables that
Shakespeare mentions in his plays and poems. Botanical Shakespeare
features a gorgeous color illustration of each, giving a "face" to
the name, alongside the specific text in which it appears and the
character(s) who utter the lines in which it is mentioned. This
fascinating visual compendium also includes a dictionary describing
each plant-such as Eglantine, a wild rose with a slight prickle,
cherished for its singular scent, superior to any other rose; and
the difference between apples and apple-john-along with indices
listing the botanical by play/poem, by character, and genus for
easy reference, ideal for gardeners and thoughtful birthday
gift-giving. This breathtaking, incomparable collection of
exquisite artwork and companion quotes offers unique depth and
insight into Shakespeare and his timeless work through the unusual
perspective of the plants themselves.
