<b>A melodious paean to the natural history and symbolic meaning of the most prized, poetized, and mythologized of songbirds.</b><br> &#160;<br> The nightingale has a unique place in cultural history: the most prized of songbirds, it has inspired more poems than any other creature, and it is also the most mythologized of birds. <i>Nightingale </i>juxtaposes the bird of poetry, music, myth, and lore with the living bird of wood and scrubland, unpicking the entangled relationship between them. Covering a huge range of poets, musicians, artists, nature writers, and natural historians&#8212;from Aristotle, Keats, and Vera Lynn to Bob Dylan&#8212;<i>Nightingale</i> charts our fascination through history with this nondescript yet melodious little brown bird. It also documents the nightingale&#8217;s disappearance from British breeding grounds and the implications this has for nightingale conservation..
