What does history look like? How do you draw time? Cartographies of
Time is the first history of the timeline, written engagingly and
with incredible visuals. The authors, both accomplished writers and
historians, sketch the shifting field of graphic representations of
history from the beginning of the print age through the present.
They shed light on western views of history and on the complex
relationship between general ideas about the course of events and
the technical efforts to record and connect dates and names in the
past. In addition to telling a rich, forgotten story, this book
serves as a kind of grammar of historical representation,
uncovering the ways in which time has been structured in thought
and in images, in the Western tradition. Written for both the
academically curious and the general reader, Cartographies of Time
provides a set of tools for understanding the evolution and the
significance of graphic representations of time both in history and
in contemporary culture.
