Original titleThe Cartographer and the Literati: Herman Moll and His Intellectual Circle
A study of one of Britain's leading prolific engravers, cartographers and geographers, Herman Moll (1654?-1732). This text puts his life and work into the historical context of late-17th/early-18th-century London, at the dawn of the British Empire. Examined also is the often symbiotic interaction of Moll with his circle: Daniel Defoe; Jonathan Swift, Robert Hooke, John Locke, William Dampier; Woodes Rogers; and William Stukeley.
