Enlightenment Geography is the first detailed study of the politics
of British geography books and of related forms of geographical
knowledge in the period from 1650 to 1850. The definition and role
of geography in a humanist structure of knowledge are examined and
shown to tie it to political discourse. Geographical works are
shown to have developed Whig and Tory defences of the English
church and state, consonant with the conservatism of the English
Enlightenment. These politicizations were questioned by those
indebted to the Scottish Enlightenment. Enlightenment Geography
questions broad assumptions about British intellectual history
through a revisionist history of geography.
