Beskrivning
Ny häftad bok. 206 sid.
A powerful exploration of trees in both the real and the imagined Anglo-Saxon landscape. 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. But they are also powerful icons in many pre-Christian religions, with a degree of tree symbolism found in Christian scripture too. 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. 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. Della Hooke is Honorary Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Research in Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Birmingham.
Märk väl att en begagnad bok kan vara namnad. Jag går inte igenom alla böcker för att kolla detta. Är det jätteviktigt för dig att köpa en onamnad bok så hör av dig. Vill du ha annat fraktbolag säg bara till. Märk väl att då kan frakten bli dyrare än det som anges i annonsen. Jag tar inte ansvar för Postens slarv. Samfraktar givetvis. Se mina andra annonser. Jag accepterar även avhämtning av varan.
