本章探讨了16世纪和17世纪初的“制图革命”，这一时期结合了测量技术和印刷技术的进步，使不列颠群岛的地图越来越精确，比例尺越来越大，能够在印刷品中广泛传播。然而，地图的日益普及也导致了地图本身的政治意识形态的转变，因为地图越来越少地与王室联系在一起，而更多地与人民的“国家”政治联系在一起。本章通过讨论现代早期英国地图绘制中的一些关键里程碑，包括萨克斯顿的《英格兰和威尔士地图集》（1579年）和斯皮德的《大不列颠帝国剧院》（1612年），描绘了这种从王室到国家的转变。最后，文章探讨了1603年后，地图和地图制作者的政治如何随着国王詹姆斯六世和一世统治下的英国联合的前景而发生转变。
This chapter explores the “cartographic revolution” of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, a period that combined advances in surveying techniques and print technology to produce increasingly accurate, scaled representations of the British Isles capable of reaching a widespread audience in print. Yet the increasing popularization of maps also produced a shift in the political ideology of the maps themselves, as maps became identified less with the Crown and more with the “country” politics of the people. This chapter charts this shift from Crown to country through discussion of some of the key milestones in the mapping of early modern Britain, including Saxton's Atlas of England and Wales (1579) and Speed's Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine (1612). It concludes with a consideration of how the politics of maps and mapmakers shifted after 1603 in response to the prospect of British union under King James VI and I.
