How did gender figure in the routes and spaces of the early modern world, both real and imagined, from the inner spaces of the body to the furthest reaches of the globe? Essays in this volume address this question from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, with topics key to the 'spatial turn', such as borders and their permeability, actual and metaphorical spatial crossings, travel and displacement, and the built environment.
