mythogeography

These contemporaries, in effect, amount to all peoples of the world known at the time of our author, with the exception of the Indians and the Chinese, knowledge of whom was, curiously, largely confined to the lore of mythogeography and of fantastic ethnology.

This paper considers the exploration of, and performance on, a single street in Exeter, UK, as guided by an idea of 'mythogeography' and a determination to address a place as a multiplicity of meanings, objects, accretions, rhythms and exceptions.
