- W2319786707 abstract "Leah Knight's Reading Green in Early Modern England adds to the growing compendium of environment-oriented literary research with a lucid and germane reading of multiple genres from the early modern period: botanical and natural history texts, medicinal books and pastoral fiction, drama, poetry, and masques. Significantly, this wide-ranging generic approach imports on the reader a cultural and social perspective of the environment centuries prior to the rise of “ecology” as we understand it today. The early modern period in England suffered from deforestation and air pollution, but people also voiced the need to replant trees (albeit primarily for the colonial imperative of building ships) and care for the small fry being over-fished from the Thames. In her assessment, Knight examines many herbal and medicinal texts produced by physicians, surgeons, apothecaries, and botanists who fervently collected, planted, and categorized new flora in private physic and pleasure gardens. Leah Knight's study fits along side other notable explorations of early modern environmentalism, such as Rebecca Bushnell's Green Desire: Imagining Early Modern English Gardens (2003), Robert Watson's Back to Nature: The Green and the Real in the Late Renaissance (2006), and Keith Thomas's early foray into environmentalism, Man and the Natural World: Changing Attitudes in England, 1500–1800 (1984). Uniquely, Knight adds to the conversation of green in early modern England with an examination of olfactory and visual senses. Her study sees green inside and out, from the “visual satisfaction offered by floral beauty to the cooling effect of a tree's shade” (51). She argues that early modern people were “alert to the quality of the air they breathed,” much like our concerns today for the toxicity of the air (40). Indeed, in the early modern period, the benefits of “pure” air for body and mind were clear. In subsequent chapters, Knight examines the “all-too-human backlash against the perceived power of the natural world” (63)." @default.
