The term mantle has inspired philosophers, geographers, and
theologians, and shaped artists' and mapmakers' visual vocabularies
for thousands of years. According to Veronica della Dora, mantle is
the "metaphor par excellence, for it unfolds between the seen and
the unseen as a threshold and as a point of tension." Featuring
numerous illustrations, The Mantle of the Earth: Genealogies of a
Geographical Metaphor is an intellectual history of the term mantle
and its metaphorical representation in art and literature,
geography and cartography. Through the history of this metaphor
from antiquity to the modern day, we learn about shifting
perceptions and representations of global space and of the nature
of geography itself.
