Reviews
a fascinating collection, and the editors are to be congratulated on bringing together such an interdisciplinary group of scholars, and maintaining such a tight focus throughout * Stephen Rippon, Medieval Settlement Research *
extremely wide-ranging volume ... presents many intriguing aspects of wood in Anglo-Saxon contexts * Nat Alcock, Society for Medieval Archaeology *
This is an important book, nicely structured and well edited. It is fantastic to see such an interdisciplinary approach to Anglo-Saxon studies breaking new ground in our understanding of Early Medieval Britain ... there is much here to fascinate and intrigue * Ethan Doyle White, Time & Mind: The Journal of Archaeology, Consciousness and Culture *
This volume succeeds on many levels, not least because even its lacunae will stimulate the reader to question, squirrel and discuss. * Graham Jones, The Antiquaries Journal *
This book successfully presents an array of well researched, thoughtful essays on the role of trees and timber in the Anglo-Saxon world. Determinedly interdisciplinary, the volume brings together archaeologists, literary scholars, historians, comparative mythologists, and historical geographers to give multiple perspectives on the ways in which trees and their products influenced everyday life, ritual, and art in England during the Anglo-Saxon centuries. * Sarah Harlan-Haughey, The Medieval Review *
