Clandestine Marriage: Botany and Romantic Culture
This excerpt from "Clandestine Marriage—Botany and Romantic Culture" examines the intersection of botany, taxonomy, and romantic-era culture. The author analyzes the Linnaean system of plant classification, its limitations, and the subsequent development of the Natural System. A key theme is how botanical practices reflected and shaped social, political, and gender dynamics, particularly concerning women's roles in science and imperialism. The text explores the role of figurative language and analogy in botanical writing, contrasting approaches by authors such as Erasmus Darwin and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Finally, it investigates the cultural significance of specific plants in various contexts, including colonial encounters and artistic representations.
