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 Sumié 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. --Publisher
