About this book

The Green Man by Basford, Kathleen. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780859910248.

The Green Man - the image of the foliate head or the head of a man sprouting leaves - is perhaps the commonest motif in medieval sculpture. This work, first published in 1978, explores the significance of the image and offers insights into medieval mans understanding of nature, into conceptions of death, rebirth and resurrection in the Middle Ages, and into concerns today with ecology and mans relationship with the green world.
