What’s Your Map? - Maps have been used not only to guide people from A to B, but to also make sense of the world around us and encourage our imagination. Maps have even been used to explore more abstract notions, such as faith and the afterlife.
In this illuminating new series, map historian Jerry Brotton invites a guest who also shares their interest in maps to unfold and explore their favourite and unpack its significance and historical context. Episodes will include J. R. R. Tolkien's map exploring Middle Earth in his novels, to a map that explores the world of wine. In the first episode Brotton is joined by historian William Dalrymple looking at an ancient Indian religion.
