Exploring the intersection of nature and imperialism in nineteenth-century England, this book delves into the cultural anxieties surrounding the introduction of exotic species—both botanical and human—into Victorian society. It highlights how these themes were vividly expressed through various genre texts, including mysteries, science fiction, and horror stories, reflecting the complexities of global exchanges during the British Empire's expansion. The narrative captures the era's experimentation and transgression within its greenhouses and urban landscapes.
