Edmund Spenser and the romance of space advances the exploration of
literary space into new areas, firstly by taking advantage of
recent interdisciplinary interests in the spatial qualities of
early modern thought and culture, and secondly by reading
literature concerning the art of cosmography and navigation
alongside imaginative literature with the purpose of identifying
shared modes and preoccupations. The book looks to the work of
cultural and historical geographers in order to gauge the roles
that aesthetic subjectivity and the imagination play in the
development of geographical knowledge: contexts ultimately employed
by the study to achieve a better understanding of the place of
Ireland in Spenser's writing. The study also engages with recent
ecocritical approaches to literary environments, such as
coastlines, wetlands, and islands, thus framing fresh readings of
Spenser's handling of mixed genres. -- .
