Compost of Ptolemy
A blog for students in Meg Roland's Lit 379: Early Modern Literature class, Fall term 2008 at Marylhurst University, Portland, Oregon. The course title is Brave New World: Literature, Cartography, and Printing. Our study of the literature of the period will be informed by two concurrent cultural developments: the development of print culture and the development of cartographic representations of geography—a new print practice intimately connected with exploration and colonization.
