Publisher's Synopsis

The tree with its vital character - growing, flowering, extending its roots into the ground and its branches and leaves to the sky - is suggestive as a polyvalent metaphor, symbol, and allegorical subject. This collected volume of essays illustrates different approaches to evaluating the tree in the art and visual culture of the medieval West.
