- This book draws on six years of extensive interdisciplinary collaborative research between two literary scholars and a plant scientist, across a range of both adjacent and hitherto unconnected fields. The monograph’s original analyses of canonical art and literature required the development of an innovative arts-science methodology, combining literary analysis, plant science and food security. Four chapters were published as standalone literary studies journal articles, and sections from two others appeared in science journals, indicating the scale, scope, multidisciplinarity and ambition of the project. At over 80,000 words, this output represents the culmination of a sustained period of original joint research.
