His lifetime saw the beginning of scientific interest in plants, the first large-scale plant introductions from outside the country since Roman times, and the beginning of gardening as a leisure activity. Shakespeare's works show that he engaged with this new world to illuminate so many facets of his plays and poems. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis dictionary offers a complete companion to Shakespeare's references to landscape, plants and gardens, including both formal and rural settings.
