Romantic Cartographies is the first collection to explore the reach and significance of cartographic practice in Romantic-period culture. Revealing the diverse ways in which the period sought to map and spatialise itself, the volume also considers the engagement of our own digital cultures with Romanticism''s ''map-mindedness''. Original, exploratory essays engage with a wide range of cartographic projects, objects and experiences in Britain, and globally. Subjects range from Wordsworth, Clare and Walter Scott, to Romantic board games and geographical primers, to reveal the pervasiveness of the cartographic imagination in private and public spheres. Bringing together literary analysis, creative practice, geography, cartography, history, politics and contemporary technologies - just as the cartographic enterprise did in the Romantic period itself - Romantic Cartographies enriches our understanding of what it means to ''map'' literature and culture.

Industry Reviews

'Romantic Cartographies succeeds in illustrating the material form and production of maps in different social, intellectual and national settings and in illuminating the cultural and political connections between literary culture and mapmaking.' Charles W. J. Withers, IMAGO MUNDI
