Northern History reviews “Deep Mapping the Literary Lake District”

Deep Mapping the Literary Lake District: A Geographical Text Analysis

by Joanna E. Taylor and Ian N. Gregory

“In this ambitious book, Joanna Taylor and Ian Gregory marry a conventional close reading of literary texts with a ‘distant’ reading of a large corpus of writing using digital mapping technologies . . . [T]he ‘deep maps’ presented in this book provide much food for thought [and] the insights [Deep Mapping the Literary Lake District] offers into the emerging field of Geographical Text Analysis point to the technique’s potential for historical research.”
