D. K. Smith

The Cartographic Imagination in Early Modern England (eBook, ePUB)

Re-writing the World in Marlowe, Spenser, Raleigh and Marvell

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Working from a cultural studies perspective, author D. K. Smith here examines a broad range of medieval and Renaissance maps and literary texts to explore the effects of geography on Tudor-Stuart cultural perceptions. He argues that the literary representation of cartographically-related material from the late fifteenth to the early seventeenth century demonstrates a new strain, not just of geographical understanding, but of cartographic manipulation, which he terms, "the cartographic imagination."
