Stimmen zu »Maps and Memory in Early Modern England«
'Overall I found Maps and Memory stimulating and rewarding reading, and will certainly be adding it to reading lists...It provides a wealth of fresh insight on canonical texts associated with geography, and broadens the range in their cartographic-cultural context, in particular extending the reach of work to date on gender and geography.' - Jess Edwards, Early Modern Literary Studies
'Sanford's overall achievement here lies in underlining the importance of the spatial paradigm to contemporary literature and culture, and in signalling the need for close investigation of its consequences.' - Society of Cartographers
