Description
Trees in Anglo-Saxon England Literature, Lore and Landscape by Della Hooke explores the significant role trees played in the rural economy and cultural heritage of Anglo-Saxon England. This book delves into both the historical and archaeological evidence of trees and woodland, as well as their depiction in literature and legend. The author examines the distribution of particular tree species across the region, using place-name and charter references to shed light on regional character during a pivotal period in the evolution of the landscape. By mapping these species for the first time, Hooke provides a unique insight into the Anglo-Saxon world. Della Hooke is an expert in her field, currently serving as Honorary Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Research in Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Birmingham.
