"Imperial Geographies in Byzantine and Ottoman Space" opens new and
insightful vistas on the nexus between empire and geography. The
volume redirects attention from the Atlantic to the space of the
eastern Mediterranean shaped by two empires of remarkable duration
and territorial extent, the Byzantine and the Ottoman. The essays
offer a diachronic and comparative account that spans the medieval
and early modern periods and reaches into the nineteenth century.
Methodologically rich, the essays combine historical, literary, and
theoretical perspectives. Through texts as diverse as court records
and chancery manuals, imperial treatises and fictional works,
travel literature and theatrical adaptations, the essays explore
ways in which the production of geographical knowledge supported
imperial authority or revealed its precarious mastery of geography.
