Description

The Green Man is a seminal work that has shed new light on one of medieval sculpture's most enduring motifs. First published in 1998, this monograph by Kathleen Basford marked a significant turning point in the study of the image, opening up fresh avenues of research into our understanding of nature, death, rebirth, and resurrection. By exploring the significance of the Green Man, Basford has provided scholars with a valuable resource for investigating the medieval period's complex relationship with the natural world. This book is a testament to the power of scholarship and its ability to shape our understanding of the past, while also informing our concerns about ecology and the environment today. A welcome addition to any collection, this paperback edition of The Green Man will be of great interest to those seeking to deepen their knowledge of medieval art history and folklore.
