The nineteenth century was a time of unprecedented discovery and exploration throughout the globe, a period when the blank spaces of the earth were systematically investigated, occupied, and exploited by the major imperial powers of Western Europe and the United States. The lived experience of space was also changing in dramatic ways for people as a result of new developments in technology, communication, and transportation. As a result, the century was characterized by a new and intense interest in place, both local and global.The collection is comprised of seventeen essays from various disciplines organized into four areas of geographic concern. The first, Time Zones, examines several ways that place gets expressed as time during the period, how geography becomes history. A second grouping, Commodities and Exchanges, explores the role of geographic origin as it was embodied in particular objects, from the souvenir map to imported tea. The set of essays on Domestic Fronts moves the discussion from the public to the private sphere by looking at how domestic space became defined in terms of its boundary with the foreign. The final section, Orientations, takes up the changing relations of bodies, identities, and the spaces they inhabit and through which they moved. The collection as a whole also traces the development of the discipline of geography with its different institutional and political trajectories in the United States and Great Britain.
