Summary "Fables of Flowers for the Female Sex. With Zephyrus and Flora, a Vision" by Wynne is a collection of poetic fables written in the early 18th century. The work features anthropomorphic flowers engaged in moral and philosophical dialogues, aimed particularly at female readers, sharing wisdom through the lens of nature. The text explores themes of beauty, virtue, and personal worth, often contrasting superficiality and genuine merit. The opening of the book introduces a lush, idyllic garden where the narrator experiences a dreamlike vision involving Zephyrus, the gentle west wind, and Flora, the goddess of flowers. In this enchanted setting, various flowers contend for recognition and praise, representing allegorical lessons on pride, beauty, and value. As conversations unfold among the flowers, the underlying moral takes shape: true worth is defined by virtue and goodness rather than mere appearances or external accolades, setting the tone for the fables that follow.
