Summary
This fascinating study explores how Renaissance-era maps fascinated people with their beauty and precision yet they also unnerved readers and writers. The volume shows how late 16th and 17th century poets channelled the anxieties provoked by maps and mapping, creating a new way of thinking about how literature represents space.
