Overview
Seventeen essays by scholars of literature, history, geography, and cultural studies interrogate the geography of the 19th century—both as field of inquiry and as political-economic reality. The essays consider the interplay between discourses describing space and those describing time, that is, between geography and history. They examine the geography embedded in particular objects, especially commodities, as well as in the social identities of persons; and they analyze the construction of the "domestic" sphere, as distinct from the "foreign."
