Le genre de la Flore des comtés anglais est apparu au XVIIe siècle et s’est consolidé au XIXe siècle en raison de divers facteurs historiques, culturels et scientifiques. Cette analyse révisionniste de la littérature sur ce genre et ses caractéristiques définitoires cherche à combiner les approches de l’histoire du livre et de l’histoire des sciences. Dans ce but, deux corpus ont été constitués : un corpus de trente Flores des comtés britanniques incluant au moins un titre pour chaque décennie du XIXe siècle, ainsi qu’un corpus d’environ soixante articles critiques parus dans des journaux spécialisés et des périodiques généralistes. Tout en contribuant à notre compréhension de ce genre, cet article explore également la fabrication des livres scientifiques en province |
