"The volume discusses the world as it was known in the Medieval and Early Modern periods,
focusing on projects concerned with mapping as a conceptual and artistic practice,
with visual representations of space, and with destinations of real and fictive travel.
Maps were often taken as straightforward, objective configurations. However, they
expose deeply subjective frameworks with social, political, and economic significance.
Travel narratives, whether illustrated or not, can address similar frameworks. Whereas
travelled space is often adventurous, and speaking of hardship, strange encounters
and danger, city portraits tell a tale of civilized life and civic pride. The book
seeks to address the multiple ways in which maps and travel literature conceive of
the world, communicate a 'Weltbild', depict space, and/or define knowledge. The volume
challenges academic boundaries in the study of cartography by exploring the links
between mapmaking and artistic practices. The contributions discuss individual mapmakers,
authors of travelogues, mapmaking as an artistic practice, the relationship between
travel literature and mapmaking, illustration in travel literature, and imagination
in depictions of newly explored worlds." - note de l'éditeur
