Novels, Maps, Modernity: The Spatial Imagination, 1850-2000

By Eric Bulson

Book Overview

Novels, Maps, Modernity argues that cartographic devices-including maps, sea charts, and aerial photographs-have radically shaped how novelistic space has been imagined and represented from the mid-nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth. More than an antidote to disorientation, Eric Bulson demonstrates that they conceal a more complex story about capitalism, urbanization, empire, and world war.
