During the middle years of Queen Elizabeth's reign, the number of
books published with titles that described themselves as flowers,
gardens, or forests more than tripled. During those same years,
English printers turned out scores of instructional manuals on
gardening and husbandry, retailing useful knowledge to a growing
class of literate landowners and pleasure gardeners. Both trends,
Jessica Rosenberg shows, reflected a distinctive style of early
modern plant-thinking, one that understood both plants and poems as
composites of small pieces-slips or seeds to be recirculated by
readers and planters. Botanical Poetics brings together studies of
ecology, science, literary form, and the material text to explore
how these developments transformed early modern conceptions of
nature, poetic language, and the printed book. Drawing on
little-studied titles in horticulture and popular print alongside
poetry by Shakespeare, Spenser, and others, Rosenberg reveals how
early modern print used a botanical idiom to anticipate histories
of its own reading and reception, whether through replanting,
uprooting, or fantasies of common property and proliferation. While
our conventional narratives of English literary culture in this
period see reading as an increasingly private practice, and
literary production as more and more of an authorial domain,
Botanical Poetics uncovers an alternate tradition: of commonplaces
and common ground, of slips of herbs and poetry circulated, shared,
and multiplied.
