This volume provides a practical introduction to spatial history
through the lens of the different primary sources that historians use.
It is informed by a range of analytical perspectives and conveys a
sense of the various facets of spatial history in a tangible,
case-study based manner. The chapter authors hail from a variety of
fields, including early modern and modern history, architectural
history, historical anthropology, economic and social history, as well
as historical and human geography, highlighting the way in which
spatial history provides a common forum that facilitates discussion
across disciplines. The geographical scope of the volume takes readers
on a journey through central, western, and east central Europe, to
Russia, the Mediterranean, the Ottoman Empire, and East Asia, as well
as North and South America, and New Zealand. Divided into three parts,
the book covers particular types of sources, different kinds of space,
and specific concepts, tools and approaches, offering the reader a
thorough understanding of how sources can be used within spatial
history specifically but also the different ways of looking at history
more broadly. Very much focusing on doing spatial history, this is an
accessible guide for both undergraduate and postgraduate students
within modern history and its related fields.
