Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vergil's poetry abounds with plants, yet much criticism underestimates their significance beyond attractive background detail or the occasional symbolic set-piece. This volume joins the growing field of nature-centred studies of literature, exploring the complexity and variety of Vergilian flora and revealing how fundamental the poet's plants and trees are to an understanding of his outlook on religion, culture, and mankind's place within the world.
