Synopsis

Reflects on trees as metaphors for kinship and knowledge as they appear in literary, historical, art-historical, and philosophical sources. The book examines images of trees and trees in-themselves across a range of contexts, and considers how humans used arboreal and rhizomatic forms to negotiate bodies of knowledge and processes of transition. Looking beyond medieval Europe, it includes discussion of parallel developments in the Islamic world and that of the Māori, the indigenous people of New Zealand.
