Enlightenment Geography: The Political Languages of British Geography, 1650-1850 (Studies in Modern History) Book
This is a study of the politics of British geography books and of related forms of geographical knowledge in the period from 1650 to 1850. The definition and role of geography in a humanist structure of knowledge are examined and shown to tie it to political discourse.

These politicizations were questioned by those indebted to the Scottish Enlightenment. The work questions broad assumptions about British intellectual history through a revisionist history of geography.Read More
