{"product_id":"trees-in-anglo-saxon-england-della-hooke-9781843838296","title":"Trees in Anglo-Saxon England: Literature, Lore and Landscape","description":"A powerful exploration of trees in both the real and the imagined Anglo-Saxon landscape. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTrees 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Della Hooke is Honorary Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Research in Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Birmingham.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Della Hooke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184383829X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843838296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.60w x 0.80d","brand":"Della Hooke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938922692863,"sku":"9781843838296","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2c16729a-5c16-4a8f-888b-eb7e722870a8.jpg?v=1681438471","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trees-in-anglo-saxon-england-della-hooke-9781843838296","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
