The Importance Of Flowers
Author: Gene Ashburner
Publisher: Gene Ashburner
ISBN:
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Life is beautiful. There are so much in life to cherish and celebrate – the birth of a baby, a graduation, a wedding, an anniversary, Valentine’s day, Mother’s day and Christmas. Flowers are loved by both men and women for their beauty, purity and freshness. Flowers while a minute part of nature, play a large role in natural therapies. The study of flower therapy has shown that not only the scents, but also the colors, of our favorite blooms affect us positively. Common sense has long told people that being around flowers make people feel happy, or at least a little less dismal and drab. Now, science is starting to realize that common sense, in this case, was not entirely incorrect. There is currently no real data on how or why flowers are able to have such effects and if these effects are universal for all known flowers. Included in this book: How To Pick Perfect Flowers, Birthday Flowers, Mother’s Day Flowers, Christmas Flowers, Flowers And The Zodiac, The Blossoms Of Thought and Peace and Stress Management Through The Use Of Flowers

Scents and Sensibility
Author: Catherine Maxwell
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191005215
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
This lively, accessible book is the first to explore Victorian literature through scent and perfume, presenting an extensive range of well-known and unfamiliar texts in intriguing and imaginative new ways that make us re-think literature's relation with the senses. Concentrating on aesthetic and decadent authors, Scents and Sensibility introduces a rich selection of poems, essays, and fiction, exploring these texts with reference to both the little-known cultural history of perfume use and the appreciation of natural fragrance in Victorian Britain. It shows how scent and perfume are used to convey not merely moods and atmospheres but the nuances of the aesthete or decadent's carefully cultivated identity, personality, or sensibility. A key theme is the emergence of the olfactif, the cultivated individual with a refined sense of smell, influentially represented by the poet and critic Algernon Charles Swinburne, who is emulated by a host of canonical and less well-known aesthetic and decadent successors such as Walter Pater, Edmund Gosse, John Addington Symonds, Lafcadio Hearn, Michael Field, Oscar Wilde, Arthur Symons, Mark André Raffalovich, Theodore Wratislaw, and A. Mary F. Robinson. This book explores how scent and perfume pervade the work of these authors in many different ways, signifying such diverse things as style, atmosphere, influence, sexuality, sensibility, spirituality, refinement, individuality, the expression of love and poetic creativity, and the aura of personality, dandyism, modernity, and memory. A coda explores the contrasting twentieth-century responses of Virginia Woolf and Compton Mackenzie to the scent of Victorian literature.
