Challenges of Mapping the Classical World collects together in one
volume fourteen varied items written by Richard Talbert over the
past thirty years. They cohere around the theme of mapping the
classical world since the nineteenth century. All were originally
prompted by Talbert's commission in the late 1980s to produce a
definitive classical atlas after more than a century of failed
attempts by the Kieperts and others. These he evaluates, as well as
probing the Smith/Grove atlas, a successful twenty-year initiative
launched in the mid-1850s, with a cartographic approach that
departs radically from established practice. Talbert's initial
vision for the international collaborative project that resulted in
the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World (2000) is
presented, and the successive twice-yearly reports on its progress
from 1991 through to completion are published here for the first
time. A further item reflects retrospectively on the project's
cartographic challenges and on how developments in digital map
production were decisive in overcoming them. This volume will be
invaluable to anyone with an interest in the development and
growing impact of mapping the classical world.
