In this first-ever botanical guide to the Brontës, discover the heather, roses, and trees that shape Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and more, with sixty enchanting natural history illustrations.

The Brontë novels are famous for their gothic atmospheres and untamed landscapes, but the plants that root these stories are just as vivid as their characters. A Brontë Botany is the first-ever botanical guide to the works of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë, revealing how flora functions not simply as scenery, but as living, symbolic forces of emotion, character, and fate.

Guiding readers from the wild heather of the Yorkshire moors to the cultivated roses of manor-house gardens, English professor and specialist in Victorian literature, Amy King, traces the Brontës' plant-world across classics including Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and beyond.

Beautifully produced in full color throughout and brought to life with commissioned natural history artwork by Tugce Okay, this gorgeous book offers an immersive, accessible way to re-enter these novels through their flora.
