When Falstaff calls upon the sky to rain potatoes in The Merry Wives of Windsor, he is highlighting the late sixteenth-century belief that the exotic vegetable, recently introduced to England from the Americas, was an aphrodisiac. In Romeo and Juliet, Lady Capulet calls for quinces to make pies for the marriage feast of her daughter. This fruit was traditionally connected with weddings and fertility, as echoed by John Gerard in his herbal where he also explained that eating quinces would 'bring forth wise children, and of good understanding'. Taking fifty quotations centring on flowers, herbs, fruit and vegetables, Margaret Willes gives these botanical references their social context to provide an intriguing and original focus on daily life in Tudor and Jacobean England, looking in particular at medicine, cookery, gardening and folklore traditions. Exquisitely illustrated with unique hand-painted engravings from the Bodleian Library's copy of John Gerard's herbal of 1597, this book marries the beauty of Shakespeare's lines with charming contemporary renderings of the plants he described so vividly
Margaret Willes is a former publisher and author of several books including, 'Pick of the Bunch: The Story of Twelve Treasured Flowers', Bodleian Library Publishing (2009) and 'The Making of the English Gardener: Plants, Books and Inspiration 1560-1660', Yale University Press (2011).

莎士比亚的作品了解的整体比较少,英文的十四行诗看过两三首就读不下去了,剧本只看过几部中文的。莎翁的剧本还是很有趣的,有特别的语感和风情。对其中的植物,从没有细究过,但是不解其意带来的阅读颗粒感,让人觉得有淡淡的疏离又很舒适。 这次看到这本书,首先是被它的外观...
评分莎翁是欧洲文学的高峰,读罢本书,我想说:作者呀,你是想告诉我们莎翁是被文学耽误了的植物学家么?However,这样的视角却能让我们更好的理解莎翁的文学作品,读出那些言外之--美。 随意感受下吧: 玫瑰花很美,但我们觉得它更美, 因为它吐出一丝甜蜜的芳香。 ——十四行诗(...
