CFP: Re-imagining Early Modern Maps (4/10/05; MMLA, 11/10/05-11/13/05)

Re-imagining Early Modern Maps.

The Renaissance Literature and Culture session for the Midwest Modern
Language Association meeting in Milwaukee in November 2005. The
English Renaissance marked a period of enormous change and
development in cartographic technologies and understanding,
highlighting the beginning of what one critic has called English
"mapmindedness." The number of maps proliferated and the variety of
their uses multiplied. This session will consider the various effects
and manifestations of this new cartographic awareness in England in
the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This is a broad topic that
will allow us to bring together a wide variety of explorations of the
effects of "mapmindednesss" on the literature and culture of the
period. Send proposals and short bio by April 10 to: Kimball Smith,
Dept of English, Kansas State University, dksmith_at_ksu.edu
