Trees and Timber in the Anglo-Saxon World
Trees and Timber in the Anglo-Saxon World
The book offers a wide-ranging discussion of the state of current research that engages with the function of trees and timber in their various uses. Topics are approached sequentially, offering an overview of the role of trees and their products in material culture, in early medieval ontologies of wood and timber, within systems of Christian and pre-Christian belief, in the early medieval landscape, and in Anglo-Saxon art and literature. Each of the subsequent chapters in the book is situated within the scholarly tradition, and an appeal is made for the recognition of trees and timber as an important area for future scholarship.

Abstract
The book offers a wide-ranging discussion of the state of current research that engages with the function of trees and timber in their various uses. Topics are approached sequentially, offering an overview of the role of trees and their products in material culture, in early medieval ontologies of wood and timber, within systems of Christian and pre-Christian belief, in the early medieval landscape, and in Anglo-Saxon art and literature. Each of the subsequent chapters in the book is situated within the scholarly tradition, and an appeal is made for the recognition of trees and timber as an important area for future scholarship.
