Edmund Spenser's exploration of literary space takes readers on a captivating journey into uncharted territories, leveraging the latest interdisciplinary insights into the spatial dimensions of early modern thought and culture. By delving into the realm of cosmography and navigation alongside imaginative literature, Spenser seeks to uncover shared modes and preoccupations, shedding light on the intricate relationship between aesthetics, subjectivity, and the imagination in the development of geographical knowledge. This insightful book draws upon the expertise of cultural and historical geographers to assess the significant roles played by aesthetic subjectivity and the imagination in shaping our understanding of place. It also engages with emerging ecocritical approaches to literary environments, such as coastlines, wetlands, and islands, offering fresh perspectives on Spenser's masterful handling of mixed genres. Through this multidisciplinary approach, Spenser and the romance of space invites readers to reimagine the boundaries of literary space and explore the rich tapestry of spatial narratives that have shaped our understanding of the world.
