In recent years, there’s been an explosion of writing about places, landscapes & our natural world. For the 1st time, a landmark anthology collects the work of incredible women who’ve written about the natural world in Britain & Ireland. Women on Nature embraces intuition & creativity.
Katharine Norbury has sifted through women’s fiction, poetry, household planners, gardening diaries & recipe books to share multitude of incredible ways in which they’ve observed nature. 14th century writing of the anchorite nun Julian of Norwich, 17th century travel journals of Celia Fiennes, keen observations of Emily Brontë & brilliant contemporary climate voices. Women on Nature presents a ground-breaking vision of our natural world. A scintillating anthology that shines a light on writers of unique importance in women’s history & the history of nature writing. Fascinating.
