Jane Webb Loudon (1807–58) was to Victorian gardening what Mrs Beeton was to cookery. She was an English magazine editor, pioneer of science fiction, and writer on gardens and botany. Her beautifully illustrated books on gardening and plant identification sold in their thousands and women all over the country were enthused enough by them to take up gardening as a hobby.
Orphaned at the age of seventeen, Jane Webb turned to writing as a means of supporting herself. A book of poetry in 1824 was followed by The Mummy!: Or a Tale of the Twenty-Second Century, a futuristic novel published anonymously. Among the reviewers impressed by the book’s fantastic visions of future scientific and technological innovations was J. C. Loudon, who published an enthusiastic review in the Gardener’s Magazine and subsequently met and married the author. Thereafter, Jane Loudon abandoned fiction and immersed herself in the study of botany, gardening, and horticulture.
Recognizing the need for instructional texts on horticulture and botany addressed to amateurs rather than specialists, Loudon contributed articles on floriculture to the Gardener’s Magazine. She went on to publish a number of well-received books, including Instructions in Gardening for Ladies (1840). In these and numerous other publications, Loudon countered the notion of women’s incapacity for manual labor with detailed instructions on how tasks such as pruning and mowing became less “laborious and unfeminine” with the right tools, and how even digging could be made easy with “a little attention to the principles of mechanics and the laws of motion.”
