Outputs and Events

This page will include links to presentations and publications deriving from this research. 

This project builds on the British Academy funded project ‘Mapping the realm: English cartographic construction of fourteenth-century Britain’. The focus of that project was the cartographic veracity of the Gough Map of c.1360. Two journal papers report results from this previous project: 

Lilley, K. D. and C. D. Lloyd with B. M. S. Campbell (2009) Mapping the realm: a new look at the Gough Map of Great Britain (c.1360). Imago Mundi, 61, 1–28. 

Lloyd, C. D. and K. D. Lilley (2009) Cartographic veracity in medieval mapping: analyzing geographical variation in the Gough Map of Great Britain. Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 99 (1), 27– 48. 

An additional publication building on later work is: 

Lilley, K. (201) Mapping Plantagenet rule through the Gough Map of Great Britain. In M. Stercken and I. Baumgärtner (Eds.) Herrschaft verorten. Politische Kartographie des Mittelalters und der frühen Neuzeit. Zürich: Medienwandel - Medienwechsel - Medienwissen, pp. 215–245. 

The contents of the Gough Map were digitised as a part of the ‘Mapping the realm’ project and again as part of a follow-on project (funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council) entitled ‘Linguistic geographies’: http://www.goughmap.org; the present project will provide digitised content for multiple historic maps of Britain.
