Canons to Right of Them, Canons to Left of Them
Can or should the history of science have a master narrative? This is a question that has exercised the minds of many historians since the Strong Programme questioned the deep connection between a sort of philosophical success story and the nitty-gritty of scientific work. 1 Since the 1970s, most of the historians of science have spent our time in the microhistorical trenches, creating thick descriptions, examining winners and losers, problematiz…

The author of this work argues that the newly institutionalized study of geography played a crucial role in fuelling England's imperial ambitions. Cormack demonstrates that geography was part of the arts curriculum between 1580 and 1620, read at university by a broad range of emerging political, economic, and…
