The article offers poetry criticism of the poem "The Botanic Garden" by Erasmus Darwin. It explores Darwin's dated style of poetic diction to present a modern conception of nature, or a natural world that was undergoing ceaseless change and transformation and was bound up with global commerce, industry and consumption.
