"In this exciting new work, [Bladen] establishes further perceptions, making the concept of 'arboreal aesthetics' her basis for a fresh approach to deeper cultural understandings. Drawing attention to the phenomenon of the tree of life motif in both religious and secular understanding of the natural world, she examines diverse poetic forms, finding that aesthetic considerations embrace changing political realities through the seventeenth century. Victoria Bladen has provided us with an elegant and important contribution to the Routledge series 'World Literature and the Environment'."
