This volume provides a practical introduction to spatial history
through the lens of the different primary sources that historians
use. It is informed by a range of analytical perspectives and
conveys a sense of the various facets of spatial history in a
tangible, case-study based manner. The chapter authors hail from a
variety of fields, including early modern and modern history,
architectural history, historical anthropology, economic and social
history, as well as historical and human geography, highlighting
the way in which spatial history provides a common forum that
facilitates discussion across disciplines. The geographical scope
of the volume takes readers on a journey through central, western,
and east central Europe, to Russia, the Mediterranean, the Ottoman
Empire, and East Asia, as well as North and South America, and New
Zealand. Divided into three parts, the book covers particular types
of sources, different kinds of space, and specific concepts, tools
and approaches, offering the reader a thorough understanding of how
sources can be used within spatial history specifically but also
the different ways of looking at history more broadly. Very much
focusing on doing spatial history, this is an accessible guide for
both undergraduate and postgraduate students within modern history
and its related fields.
