A Bronte Botany - Amy M. King - diskuze

The celebrated novels of the Brontë sisters are well known for their gothic settings and wild landscapes filled with literary symbolism. Attention to the natural world was part of the Brontë milieu. From the wild heather of the Yorkshire moors to the cultivated roses of manor house gardens, the flora pervading each novel reflects the rebellion, romance and resilience in the Brontës’ literary landscapes and lives. In A Brontë Botany, explore the vivid and symbolic world of plants through the pages of classic novels such as Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. This beautifully researched volume uncovers how Charlotte, Emily, and Anne wove the natural world into their storytelling – not just as picturesque scenery, but as living, breathing elements of emotion, character, and fate.
