Abstract:	"This book renovates understandings of sensibility and its importance to the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century movement of scientific literature within genres such as poetry, novels, travel writing, children's literature, and even literary criticism that engage with the natural sciences, and especially with botany, by male and female writers, including Charlotte Smith, Anna Seward, Maria Riddell, Anna Barbauld, and Sydney Owenson, among many others"--
