Provinces of the Mind: Literature, Maps, and Place

Join Diamonstein-Spielvogel Fellow Victoria Baena and NYPL Curator of Maps, History, and Government Information Ian Fowler for a wide-ranging conversation on literature, maps, and their respective strategies in constructing a sense of place. Baena will introduce her book-in-progress on the idea of “the provinces” in 19thcentury literature, before turning with Fowler to a selection of cartographic materials drawn from the Library’s collections.

A Q&A will follow; attendees will also have the chance to take a look at these artifacts themselves.
