Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
For nineteenth century scholars the Holy Land was not just a
region of the globe -- it was an idea, an intellectual and moral
space charged with the heat of debate between those trying to
understand the religious, social and scientific upheavals of the
time. Edwin Aiken explores the various ways in which geographical
knowledge was used in these debates. In particular he shows how
religious writers called upon geographical knowledge to the benefit
of their readers. The result is an original and stimulating work of
scholarship that demonstrates the significance of the geography of
the Holy Land in Western thought and argument, and makes important
contributions to the history of geography, the nature of
Orientalism, and to the evolving relationship between religion and
science.
