Kümin (early modern European history, U. of Warwick, UK) presents the results of a scholarly workshop that focused on applying spatial approaches and insights to the study of the politics of pre-industrial Europe. Topics include the shifting city locations of the German Imperial Diets (Reichstags) and the shaping of the "German Nation," palaces as the sites for the display of monarchical might and control of access to the sovereign, public houses as surveillance sites in the English urban community, the spatial politics of the enclosure of the English commons, the geography of links between central authority and local landowners in medieval England, the location of printed petitions and the creation of the public sphere in the English revolution, and comparative cartography of the Swiss Confederation. Also included is an essay reviewing the contributions from a historian's perspective and a survey of varying spatial approaches to understanding pre-industrial politics.
