Empty Spaces
Perspectives on emptiness in modern history
How is emptiness made and what historical purpose does it serve? What cultural, material and natural work goes into maintaining ‘nothingness’? This volume draws together contributions from authors working on landscapes and rurality, along with national and imperial narratives, and seeks to foreground the importance of emptiness as a productive prism through which to interrogate a variety of imperial, national, cultural and urban histories.
