Abstract:

Plants and flowers were an object of literary and scientific fascination in Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The introduction and exploitation of new species of plants and new products, changed the nutrition and daily life of the inhabitants of the territories of the Habsburg Monarchy. The great authors of the Spanish Golden Age observed these changes and described in great detail the plants that inspired them, though it is often almost impossible to accurately identify the plant species they describe. In short, Todos son hojas documents and reviews the botanical richness of the Spanish literature of the Golden Age, and describes playwrights and poets’ fascination with the natural world, while reflecting how literature and science act in parallel, although often in antagonistic ways, to structure and represent our experience of nature.
