Text and Territory: Geographical Imagination in the European Middle AgesSylvia Tomasch, Sealy Gilles University of Pennsylvania Press, 1998 - 330 من الصفحات 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. |
