This is the first book to address William Wordsworth’s profound
identification of the spirit of nature in trees. It looks at what
trees meant to him, and how he represented them in his poetry and
prose: the symbolic charm of blasted trees, a hawthorn at the heart
of Irish folk belief, great oaks that embodied naval strength, yews
that tell us about both longevity and the brevity of human life.
Linking poetry and literary history with ecology, Versed in Living
Nature explores intricate patterns of personal and local
connections that enabled trees – as living things, cultural
topics, horticultural objects and even commodities – to be
imagined, theorized, discussed and exchanged. In this book, the
literary past becomes the urgent present.
