This book is the first major review of the history, theory and methodology of historical geography. Written by a leading authority in the field, it provides a fascinating and erudite analysis of this powerful and influential intellectual tradition.Using case studies and examples drawn from around the world and from numerous historical periods, Professor Butlin surveys the many different approaches to reconstructing the geographies of the past. Major sections are devoted to the sources of evidence and data used by historical geographers; the methods deployed in recreating the physical environments and human landscapes of the past; and the importance of geographical perspectives in considering the economic, social and political histories of power and control, rural change, industrial and urban development, and the changing patterns of trade, transport and communications.This comprehensive assessment brings together a wealth of material written in a lively and accessible style. For apporaching the subject for the first time it is an indispensable introduction and those with a greater knowledge of the field will find much that is new and stimulating in this account.

This book, like its companion volume, An Historical Geography of Europe 450 BC-AD 1330, seeks to examine the complex of natural and man-made features that have influenced the course of history and have been influenced by it. It follows the general pattern of the earlier volume and spans the period from the early sixteenth century to the eve of the Industrial Revolution in continental Europe, approximately 1500 to 1840. It first presents a picture of the geography of Europe - political, social and economic - in the early sixteenth century, and it ends with a similar picture of continental Europe in the early nineteenth. The intervening period of about three centuries is too short to be presented in a series of cross-sections. Instead, between these two horizontal pictures a series of vertical studies has been inserted. These trace the development of the main facets of European geography during this period. There are chapters on population, urban development, agriculture, manufacturing and trade and transport. As in the earlier volume, no attempt has been made to include either the British Isles or Russia, and these are referred to only incidentally.
