- Dislocations is a study of geographical writing in the broadest sense, extending from antiquity to 1600, across poetry, chronicles, encyclopedic works, scientific treatises, letters, and pilgrimage narrative, in addition to the maps that constitute a major focus. The exploration of dislocation as an ancient, medieval and modern spatial phenomenon incorporates twentieth- and twenty-first-century art, including non-European artworks. The book uses formally adventurous features, such as dialogues and grumpy interlocutors, to loosen the conventions of academic prose. It took over a decade to complete, and is informed by close study of medieval manuscripts in thirteen British and European libraries.
