Book Description
This volume explores the deep connections between literature and botany, examining how plants shape cultural narratives, ecological thought, and human imagination. From ancient myths to contemporary ecocriticism, the collected essays analyze plant symbolism, botanical knowledge, and vegetal agency in literary and artistic traditions. Engaging with perspectives from environmental humanities, posthumanism, and cultural studies, the book highlights the role of plants in shaping human history and ecological awareness. By bridging science and the humanities, it offers a fresh, interdisciplinary perspective on human-plant relationships in literature and beyond.
