Description: Before maps were commonplace people had been getting from place to place successfully for many millennia. How did they find their way? In this innovative study Bob Trubshaw looks at how place-names may have sufficiently descriptive to have acted as route markers. He then looks at how legends could be used to create mnemonics to remember places in the correct order. Perhaps not too surprisingly there is direct evidence for such 'narrative cartography' in the records of Anglo-Saxon England.
An appendix by Wade Tarzia looks at place-lore in early Irish literature, especially in the Táin Bó Cúailnge or 'The Cattle-raid of Cooley'.
How the Anglo-Saxons Fouind Their Way develops ideas first published in Bob Trubshaw's book Singing Up the Country.
Published February 2012. Available as a free PDF download only.
