Description
Herbals, books describing the characteristics and uses of plants, were extraordinarily popular as a genre in early modern England. Illuminating the herbal's rich material history and its remarkable popularity across the social spectrum, Sarah Neville reveals the close relationship between print culture and the construction of scientific authority.
