Taking as its focus an age of transformational development in
cartographic history, namely the two centuries between Columbus's
arrival in the New World and the emergence of the Scientific
Revolution, this study examines how maps were employed as physical
and symbolic objects by thinkers, writers and artists. It surveys
how early modern people used the map as an object, whether for
enjoyment or political campaigning, colonial invasion or teaching
in the classroom. Exploring a wide range of literature, from
educational manifestoes to the plays of Marlowe and Shakespeare, it
suggests that the early modern map was as diverse and various as
the rich culture from which it emerged, and was imbued with a whole
range of political, social, literary and personal impulses.
Intellectual and Imaginative Cartographies in Early Modern England,
1550-1700 will appeal to all those interested in the History of
Cartography
