Descrição: Barraclough examines the representation of trees and woodlands in the Old Norse-Icelandic textual tradition and the Islendingasogur in particular. She aims to explore how medieval Icelanders thought about and engaged with the physical environment around them, as well as the broader nonhuman natural world beyond their homeland. At the heart of the discussion is the nature of the connections between geographical space--both real and imagined--and the way humans think about the world they inhabit, their place within it, their present and their past Beyond the medieval Icelandic context, the analysis has broader implications for our understanding of how historical cultures have engaged with threshold or marginal geographical spaces, particularly those undergoing modification as a result of human activity.
