The essays in this collection -- a selection of papers presented at
the University of Sydney Centre for Medieval Studies workshop,
`Travel and Cartography from Bede to the Enlightenment' (August
22-23, 2001) - track a variety of travel narratives from the eighth
century to the eighteenth. Their voyages, which extend from from
the literal to the spiritual, the political, and the artistic, show
how the concept of narrative mapping has changed over time, and how
it encompasses cosmogony, geography, chorography, topography, and
inventory. Each essay is concerned in some way with the application
of the medieval geographical imagination, or with the enduring
influence of that imagination upon post-medieval travel and
discovery writing.This book will be of interest to undergraduate
and postgraduate university students and to a broad range of
academics across the disciplines of literature and history. It will
be of particular interest to medievalists and scholars of the early
modern period and to readers of, the new (1997) scholarly journal,
Studies in Travel Writing.The volume will also appeal to a more
general, informed readership interested in the history of travel
and the history of ideas, early contact with indigenous people, and
encounters between East and West.
