The Key Of Green : Passion And Perception In Renaissance Culture
The Cartographic Imagination In Early Modern England : Re -writing The World In Marlowe, Spenser, Raleigh And Marvell

Attribution
D.K. SmithPublication Details
BookAshgate2008Description
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.”Rather than considering the effects of maps themselves on early modern epistemologies, Smith considers the effects of the activity of mapping-the new techniques, the new expectations of accuracy and precision which developed in the sixteenth century-on the ways people thought and wrote.

Archipelagic English : Literature, History, And Politics, 1603-1707

Attribution
John KerriganPublication Details
BookOxford University Press2008Description
Seventeenth-century “English Literature” has long been thought about in narrowly English terms. Archipelagic English corrects this by devolving anglophone writing, showing how much remarkable work was produced in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, and how preoccupied such English authors as Shakespeare, Milton, and Marvell were with the often fraught interactions between ethnic, religious, and national groups around the British-Irish archipelago.
