Goethe's influential text, newly illustrated with stunning color photographs.
The Metamorphosis of Plants, published in 1790, was Goethe's first major attempt to describe what he called in a letter to a friend 'the truth about the how of the organism.' Inspired by the diversity of flora he found on a journey to Italy, Goethe sought a unity of form in diverse structures. He came to see in the leaf the germ of a plant's metamorphosis--'the true Proteus who can hide or reveal himself in all vegetal forms'--from the root and stem leaves to the calyx and corolla, to pistil and stamens. With this short book--123 numbered paragraphs, in the manner of the great botanist Linnaeus--Goethe aimed to tell the story of botanical forms in process, to present, in effect, a motion picture of the metamorphosis of plants. This MIT Press edition of The Metamorphosis of Plants
