Originally published in 1938, this book was the first to cover the history of geographical thought. It discusses the development of medieval earth-knowledge as it was affected, on the one hand, by the prevailing Christian and Muslim ideologies and, on the other, by the results of human enterprise on land and sea.
Original Reviews of Geography in the Middle Ages:
‘This book is an important contribution to the remarkably rich English literature of historical geography…it is a well-proportioned, easily readable, and carefully edited summary of mediaeval geography and deserves the most careful attention of every mediaevalist. Erwin Raisz, Speculum, Vol 15, No. 3 (1940).
