There are different ways of doing this. Fiona Black’s chapter argues for an increased attention to the visualization of the many spaces of print culture through the use of Geographical Information Systems. Drawing examples from the history of Canadian print culture, she argues that historical approaches can benefit from a sharpened awareness of geographical data at a range of scales from the individual locations and movements of print shop workers, through national patterns of literacy and transportation, to international migrations of people and texts.

In Edinburgh, Vestiges was read yet differently by different readers as part of debates over liberal reform and ecclesiastical politics. What is striking about Secord’s work, then, is not a radically new geographical perspective which overturns all that came before. Rather, it is the recognition that if we do not understand that some of the more familiar determinants of reading such as class, gender, religion and politics were geographically differentiated and geographical constituted in particular places – being an Anglican in Liverpool in the 1840s was different from being one in Cambridge – scholars will not be able to explain these, and other, very different readings and interpretations of the same book.
