English maps
a history
by Catherine Delano-Smith, Catherine Delano Smith, Roger Kain, and R. J. P. Kain
"This book is a single introductory volume on the history of English maps. The authors adopt the revisionist perspectives of the new history of cartography, and review a very broad range of maps from different temporal, intellectual and practical contexts, ranging in date from about 700 AD to the beginning of the twentieth century.
Their principal objective is to explore the ways in which maps have interacted with society in England's past, to analyse the roles that maps have played and the uses to which they have been put. It is often a story of discontinuity rather than evolution, but the authors recognise many connections across the centuries, at the same time seeking to avoid too insular a view noting the influence of ongoing intellectual and cartographic developments in the rest of Europe."--BOOK JACKET.
