In the late eighteenth century, a new subject emerged that was one of the earliest forms of historical geography. It was called ancient geography or classical geography. Geographers, historians and classicists all contributed to its rise, as it flourished in both Britain and America. Yet in the 1920s, as geography took a different turn, the subject began to decline. As a result the story has been omitted from more recent histories of geography and indeed from the classical tradition. William Koelsch's pioneering volume in the Tauris Historical Geography Series is the first full-length work to explore the emergence of the subject, its successes and failures, and to explore its role in the geographical tradition. The author gives equal prominence to the story as it unfolded in both Britain and America. The result is a work of outstanding scholarship that reveals a rich and important part of the geographical and classical tradition that has until now been overlooked.

Cet ouvrage constitue la publication des Actes du Symposium Invitation au voyage, qui s’est tenu en juin 2013, au très prestigieux Lycée Henri IV de Paris. Le thème universel du voyage est ici abordé sous un angle tout à fait nouveau. L’étude conjointe ou contrastive de textes de différentes aires linguistiques, mais aussi de différents media et types d’art (peinture, cinéma), permet de revisiter le thème en dépassant les frontières du temps et de l’espace et de voir ce qui se passe également “ailleurs”, dans d’autres langues, d’autres mondes. Les principales langues étudiées sont : le français, l’ancien-français, le latin, le grec ancien, le grec moderne, le sanskrit, l’avestique, le hittite, le vieil-irlandais, le vieil-islandais, l’anglais, l’espagnol, l’italien, le portugais. This volume brings together the proceedings of the Symposium Invitation au Voyage, held in June 2013 at the highly prestigious Lycée Henri IV in Paris. These studies explore the universal theme of the journey from a completely new perspective. They compare and contrast texts from different linguistic areas, but also different media, and different types of art such as painting and cinema. This allows the authors to carry the theme beyond the boundaries of time and space, examining what goes on in the ‘elsewhere’ of other languages and other worlds. The main languages studied here are: French, Old French, Latin, Ancient Greek, Sanskrit, Avestan, Hittite, Old Irish, Old Icelandic, English, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.
