Abstract

Mapping Travel: The Origins and Conventions of Western Journey Maps: By Jordana Dym. Journey maps are distinct from road maps, Dym argues, because they attend primarily to 'the personal and individual rather than the permanent and collective'. She highlights William Wey as a crucial figure here, not because he made maps - although he did annotate a map of Palestine with his list of places - but rather because he began to imagine the relationship between personal travel and the map.
