Synopsis:
Twelve literary scholars and historians investigate the ways in which space and place are politically, religiously, and culturally inflected. Exploring medieval texts as diverse as Icelandic sagas, Ptolemy's Geography, and Mandeville's Travels, the contributors illustrate the intimate connection between geographical conceptions and the mastery of land, the assertion of doctrine, and the performance of sexuality.
About the Author: Sylvia Tomasch is Professor of English at Hunter College, in The City University of New York. Sealy Gilles is Associate Professor of English at Long Island University.
