- This book is the first major study of British urban arboriculture between 1800 and 1914 and draws upon fresh approaches in geographical, urban and environmental history. It makes a major contribution to our understanding of the contexts in which trees grew in British towns, their social and cultural impact, and the attitudes taken towards them. It explores the position of trees in natural urban ecosystems, demonstrating how they provided continuity and change through time, interfacing between humans and nature and connecting the continents. It argues that trees have helped to define modern urbanity while simultaneously evoking nature and the countryside.
