BRONTE BOTANY (RIVERSIDE PRESS) (HB)

From the wild heather of the Yorkshire moors to the cultivated roses of manor house gardens, the flora pervading their novels reflects the Brontes’ literary landscapes and lives. This book explores the vivid and symbolic world of plants through the pages of novels including Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and uncovers how Charlotte, Emily and Anne wove the natural world into their storytelling – not just as picturesque scenery, but as indicators of emotion, character and fate.
