Lost Worlds: Myths & Maps

xplore Atlantis, Lemuria, Avalon and the worlds imagined beneath the Earth. Lost Worlds is an atlas of legends, books and speculative geography, with the authors' words close at hand. FIFTEEN PLACES TO EXPLORE Discover sunken lands, enchanted Atlantic islands, polar visions and hidden inner worlds. Follow related entries from one idea to another. Surface places appear on a map of broad literary regions; inner worlds and whole-world models have their own reading diagrams. WHAT DID THE SOURCE SAY? Every atlas entry brings together an author's proposal, a passage from the historical text and original commentary. Open the source to read beyond the excerpt. Novels, literary retellings, purported chronicles and speculative theories keep their own identities. A HISTORY OF IDEAS Follow twelve publications through a timeline. Compare the voices of Donnelly, Scott-Elliot, Bulwer-Lytton, Warren, Emerson, Gardner and other writers. Dates identify books and proposals, keeping a publication separate from the ancient dates claimed within its pages.
