A history of monastic foundations in East Anglia, from the middle Anglo-Saxon period to the Normans. By integrating archaeological and historical sources, it presents an in-depth examination of where and how communal

religious life developed. In so doing, it demonstrates how the more visible and better-evidenced post-Conquest monastic landscape was typically structured by its Anglo-Saxon past.

trees in angLo-saxon engLanDLiterature, Lore and LandscapeDELLA HO OKE

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.DELLA HOOKE is Honorary Fellow of

the Institute for Advanced Research in Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Birmingham.To look at any tree after reading [the] book is to have a clearer grasp of what someone might have made of it (literally and metaphorically) a thousand years ago. SALON

enVironment, society anD LanDscape in earLy meDieVaL engLanDTime and TopographyTOM WILLIAMSONThe Anglo-Saxon period was crucial in the development of England’s character: its language, and much of its landscape and culture, were forged in the period between the fifth and the eleventh centuries. However, discussions and debates about settlement and landscape in early medieval England seldom pay any real attention to the natural environment. In this controversial study the author argues that most aspects of regional variation in early England, ranging from patterns of Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian settlement, through the tenurial differences between the east and west of the country, are largely the consequence of topography, geology, soils and climate. Examining many aspects of social organisation, farming and landscape, this radical book will be essential reading for all those interested in the history, archaeology and environment of England in the early middle ages, and in the roots of regional culture.TOM WILLIAMSON is Professor of Landscape History, University of East Anglia£45/$80 February 2013 978 1 84383 737 4 41 b/w illus.; 280pp, HB Anglo-Saxon Studies

GARDEN & LANDSCAPE HISTORY

This exciting series offers a forum for the study of all aspects of the subject. It will take a deliberately inclusive approach, aiming to cover both the ‘designed’ landscape and the working, ‘vernacular’ countryside; topics may embrace, but will not be limited to, the history of gardens and related

subjects, biographies of major designers, in-depth studies of key sites, and regional surveys.SerieS editor: ProfeSSor tom WilliamSon, UniverSit y of eaSt anglia

Common Land in EngLish Painting, 1700-1850ian WaiteSDuring the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, much of England’s common land was eradicated by the processes of parliamentary enclosure. However, despite the fact that the landscape was frequently viewed as unproductive, outmoded and unsightly, many British landscape painters of the time - including Constable, Gainsborough and Turner - resolutely continued to depict it. This book is the first full study of how they did so, using evidence drawn not only from art-historical picture analysis, but from contemporary poems and novels, and the contemporary pamphlets, essays and reports that advanced the rhetoric of both agricultural improvement and new theories on landscape aesthetics. It highlights a deep-rooted social and cultural attachment to the common field landscape, and demonstrates that common land played a significant but - until now - underestimated role in both the history of English art and of the formation of an English national identity.IAN WAITES is Senior Lecturer in History of Art and Design at the University of Lincoln.£50/$90 2012 978 1 84383 761 9 30 colour & 42 b/w illus.; 208pp, HB

The AlloTmenT movemenT in englAnd, 1793-1873JEREMY BURCHARDT

The living standards of the rural poor suffered a severe decline in the first half of the nineteenth century as a result of high population growth, changing agricultural practices, enclosure and the decline of rural industries. Allotment

provision was the most important counterweight to the pressures. This book casts new light on central aspects of nineteenth-century social and economic history, agriculture and rural society.JEREMY BURCHARDT is lecturer in Rural History, University of Reading.A full and important study of allotments which addresses wider rural social issues and relationships.

unmitigated decline, almost everywhere we look in the countryside between the wars there were signs of new growth and dynamic development.

Following a general introduction and a background chapter on Late Antique and medieval theories of wellness and therapy, in-depth essays treat such wide-ranging topics as medicine and astrology, herbal glossaries, illuminated

medical manuscripts, dietary cooking, gardens in social and political context, and recreated medieval gardens. They make a significant contribution to our understanding of the place of medicinal plants in medieval thought and practice, and thus lead to a greater appreciation of how medieval theories and therapies from diverse places developed in continuously evolving and cross-pollinating strands, and, in turn, how they contributed to broader ideas concerning the body, religion, identity, and the human relationship with the natural world.
