520 |a The study of space and place is unquestionably becoming an important research focus in the humanities and social sciences. And while there is an expanding body of theoretical work on the importance of these concepts in various disciplines, less attention has been paid to how spatial ideas and approaches can actually be deployed to understand the societies, cultures and mentalities of the past. In this volume, leading experts explore the uses of space in two respects, how spatial concepts can be employed by or applied to the study of history and how spaces and spatial ideas were used for practical and ideological purposes in specific periods. Together, the contributors represent a comprehensive range of disciplines concerned with space and history, including archaeology, social history, intellectual history, imperial history, geography and cartography, allowing for an unusually broad variety of case studies and perspectives.
