Trees played a particularly important part in the rural economy of Anglo-Saxon England, both for wood and timber and as a wood-pasture resource, with hunting gaining a growing cultural role. This wide-ranging book explores both the "real," historical and archaeological evidence of trees and woodland, and as they are depicted in Anglo-Saxon literature and legend. But they are also powerful icons in many pre-Christian religions, with a degree of tree symbolism found in Christian scripture too.
Della Hooke is Honorary Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Research in Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Place-name and charter references cast light upon the distribution of particular tree species (mapped here in detail for the first time) and also reflect upon regional character in a period that was fundamental for the evolution of the present landscape.
