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.

Capital Offenses : Geographies Of Class And Crime In Victorian London
Attribution
Simon JoycePublication Details
BookUniversity of Virginia Press2003Description
Whereas Victorian social science presumed a correlation between criminal activity, geographical residence, and social class, the popular literature of the period often sought just as strenuously to deny the link, giving rise to privileged and pathological offenders like Dorian Gray and Dr. Jekyll. Illustrating “literary geography”–in which physical space is not merely a backdrop for the plot but an integral element in shaping textual meaning–Simon Joyce?s Capital Offenses reveals how certain geographical patterns can not only give weight to interpretive meanings already suggested in the texts but also enable us to read them in a new and surprising light.
