Reviews
'This exquisitely-crafted study demonstrates how the visual language of early modern book-making rendered new worlds and peoples legible. Paying attention to the inside and outside of books, to their sentences as well as their material form, this meticulous volume shows how the conceptual grid of cardinal points came to construct ideas of ""southern climes"" and ""the south"". The study moves beyond postcolonial theories of self and other, offering wisdom for early modernists, postcolonial theorists, book historians, and literary and historical scholars. A cardinal study, in every sense of the word.' Isabel Hofmeyr, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa and New York University, USA
