"The Cartographic Revolution in the Renaissance made maps newly precise, newly affordable, and newly ubiquitous. In sixteenth-century Britain, cartographic materials went from rarity to household decor within a single lifetime, and they delighted, inspired, and fascinated people across the socioeconomic spectrum. At the same time, they also unsettled, upset, disturbed, and sometimes angered their early modern readers. Early Modern English Literature and the Poetics of Cartographic Anxiety is the first monograph dedicated to recovering the shadow history of the many anxieties provoked by early modern maps and mapping in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. A product of a military arms race, often deployed for security and surveillance purposes, and fundamentally distortive of their subjects, maps provoked suspicion, unease, and even hostility in early modern Britain (in ways not dissimilar from the anxieties provoked by global positioning-enabled digital mapping in the twenty-first century). At the same time, writers saw in the resistance to cartographic logics and strategies the opportunity to rethink the way literature represents space--and everything else. This volume explores three major poems of the period--Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene (1590, 1596), Michael Drayton's Poly-Olbion (1612, 1622), and John Milton's Paradise Lost (1667, 1674)--in terms of their vexed and vexing relationships with cartographic materials, and shows how the productive protest staged by these texts redefined concepts of allegory, description, personification, bibliographic materiality, narrative, temporality, analogy, and other elemental components of literary representations."-- Spenser, Edmund 1552-1599 The faerie queene gnd Drayton, Michael 1563-1631 The Poly-Olbion gnd Milton, John 1608-1674 Paradise lost gnd 1500-1700 fast English literature Early modern, 1500-1700 History and criticism Cartography Great Britain History 16th century Maps in literature Cartography (OCoLC)fst00848025 fast English literature Early modern (OCoLC)fst01710960 fast Maps in literature (OCoLC)fst01008759 fast Kartografie gnd Frühneuenglisch gnd Literatur gnd 18.05 English literature (NL-LeOCL)077611977 nbc Great Britain (OCoLC)fst01204623 fast Criticism, interpretation, etc fast (OCoLC)fst01411635 History fast (OCoLC)fst01411628 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780198816874.001.0001/oso-9780198816874 Uni Basel: Volltext https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780198816874.001.0001/oso-9780198816874 Uni Bern: Volltext BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 University Press Scholarship Online E-Books von 360MarcUpdates Oxford Scholarship Online IDSBB A145 A145 145VT https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780198816874.001.0001/oso-9780198816874 NELA1452003 IDSBB B405 B405 405VT https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780198816874.001.0001/oso-9780198816874 NELB4052004 IDSBB 100 1- Barrett Chris Christine author IDSBB 490 1- Early modern literary geographies IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780198816874.001.0001/oso-9780198816874 Uni Basel: Volltext IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780198816874.001.0001/oso-9780198816874 Uni Bern: Volltext SWISSBIB 513858059
