Mapping The Early Modern World
A Conference at the Folger Shakespeare Library
13 and 14 March 1998

Drawing upon the materials and methodologies of a number of humanistic

development and increasingly widespread use of maps in early modern
Europe. The conference aims to establish common scholarly ground through
richly detailed and suggestive examinations of topics that will
collectively inform what might be called map literacy.
