Leah Knight

Of Books and Botany in Early Modern England (eBook, ePUB)

Sixteenth-Century Plants and Print Culture

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Leah Knight argues that the early modern cultures and cultivation of plants and books depended on each other in historically specific ways. Knight's in-depth readings of sixteenth-century herbals are incorporated in a narrative which establishes the broader context for the interpenetration of plants and writing in the period's cultural practices to illuminate a complex interplay between materials and discourses rarely considered in tandem today.
