Annotation:
	Joins studies in ecology, science, literary forms, and material texts to examine evolving notions of nature, poetic language and printed texts in early modern England. Studies early modern gardening manuals, as well as poetic texts with titles that describe themselves as flowers, gardens, and forests. Argues both kinds of texts reflect "distinctive style of early modern plant-thinking, one that understood both plants and poems as composites of small pieces—slips or seeds to be recirculated by readers and planters." Considers references to small plants in Romeo and Juliet and Shakespeare's sonnets.
