Vin Nardizzi is the author of Wooden Os: Shakespeare’s Theatres and England’s Trees (University of Toronto, 2013). He is also the co-editor of Queer Renaissance Historiography: Backward Gaze (Ashgate, 2009) and The Indistinct Human in Renaissance Literature (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012). In Marvellous Vegetables in the English Renaissance, a wide-ranging, elegantly written book, Vin argues that one of the major works of sixteenth-century plant writing, John Gerard’s The Herball, can reanimate our thinking about early modern literature and visual art. Marvellous Vegetables in the English Renaissance brings together a rich archive include Shakespeare’s Merry Wives of Windsor, Ovid’s Metamorphoses and its English translations, seventeenth-century anatomy textbooks, and the paintings of Giuseppe Arcimboldi and Nicholas Hilliard. The book also makes exciting methodological interventions in the critical practices of early modern scholarship. Learn more about your ad choices.
