Summary: "The Shakespeare Garden" by Esther Singleton is a horticultural guidebook written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the history, evolution, and significance of gardens during Shakespeare's time, exploring the various flowers featured in his works and providing insights for creating an authentic Shakespeare garden. Singleton's appreciation for Shakespeare's connection to nature and flowers serves as a foundation to examine the horticultural practices prevalent during the Elizabethan era. At the start of the book, the author introduces her motivation for discussing Shakespeare's gardens, emphasizing the playwright's frequent references to flowers and his appreciation for their beauty. Singleton notes the types of gardens Shakespeare would have known, contrasting the grand estates of nobility with simpler cottage gardens. She outlines the structure of the book, which encompasses the historical context of garden design, specifics about flowers mentioned in Shakespeare’s plays, and practical guidance on creating a Shakespearean garden of one's own. The opening sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the flora and garden aesthetics that inspired the Bard himself, aiming to inspire readers with a newfound understanding of the interplay between literature and gardening.
