Dramatis personae

Matthew H. Edney

12 March 2024

As I’ve been working on the several strands of historiography—blog posts here, published works, and works in progress—I’ve been keeping notes about the basic biographical details of the various map historians and theorists that I’ve encountered and written about. Some people have ended up being cut from the final publications, but I have nonetheless kept them here. All told, this is not an attempt at a comprehensive listing of all map scholars and map historians!

I decided to makie this listing available as a means to pull the extensive bio-bibliographical literature out from my various works in progress, and so lighten the load of their critical apparatus. I intend to add to the content of this page in an ongoing manner, especially as I continue to work on the later chapters of the current work-in-progress. So, if you see errors or have relevant literature, please let me know; thanks!

For many people, I’ve collected details about obituaries and other publications, but for others that literature is either extensive and easily found (so omitted) or negligible. By and large, I’ve found Wikipedia actually quite good for the basics, although it tends to be rather skimpy on information about doctoral degrees and the dates worked by people at different institutions; I have not gone through all the various national dictionaries of biography such as Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, although I have used them when accessible. Please note that Wilhelm Bonacker’s Kartenmacher aller Länder und Zeiten (Stuttgart: Anton Hiersemann, 1966) is full of small errors.

Within my essays, I use scholars’ own preferred bibliographical expression of their names (e.g., “J. B. Harley” rather than Brian Harley). The following list gives full names. I generally exclude living and active scholars.

Format:

Last\family name, personal names given in full (dates) type: description.

Note: preferred personal names are underlined (thus, Harley, John Brian); variants are provided within [brackets], common or nick names in “quotes.”

Type, specified when appropriate, is the particular historiographical mode in which the individual was active, as defined in an essay on early modern engagements with maps from the past (in progress) and in The Map: Concepts and Histories (also in progress). If not specified, then the individual is either a theorist or other significant commentator about maps. The categories are:

early modern – pre-ca. 1775, further subclassified as (classical) historian, geographer, or antiquary

comparative – majority of map historians since 1830s, seeking to trace growth of knowledge of the world or of states or provinces as markers of increasing sophistication of “civilization” and of national/provincial cultures

internal – practicing and academic map makers who study histories of technologies, techniques, institution, and individuals

reconstructive – historians and geographers interested in reconstructing past landscapes

sociocultural – wide array of scholars interested in histories of maps as cultural texts and social instruments

processual – historians of mapping processes (production, circulation, consumption)
