Regions and Landscapes

Reality and Imagination in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe. Edited by Peter Ainsworth and Tom Scott.

This volume brings together European and American scholars from a range of complementary disciplines (cartographers, economic and social historians, historians of social and political institutions, economic geographers, historians of art and textual analysts), all of whom are interested in exploring potential interconnections between their respective approaches to the study of regions and landscapes, ‘real’ or imagined, in the early modern and medieval periods. Focusing on the Rhineland and Low Countries, the essays offer a collective, interdisciplinary approach which aims to shed light on at least some of the complexities underlying any attempt to analyse what we might understand by landscape or region in a particular historical context. 244 Seiten mit 9 Karten und 27 Tafeln, broschiert (Peter Lang Verlag 2000) Mängelexemplar/near mint
