Poets map

The map

The historical map used in this visualization is Thomas Kitchin's A compleat map of the British Isles (London: Robert Sayer, 1788). You can add or remove individual map layers via the Layers-menu in the top right corner.

Poets are shown at their place of birth, unless it is unknown or beyond the confines of the map, in which case they are shown at the country's geographical centre. Images of the poets have been sourced from Wikimedia Commons among others.

You can use the filters below to adjust the window of reference, and switch to the Poets-tab on the left for an alphabetical list of poets (with filters applied).

Known issues

Regretfully, for navigational purposes, some names and borders used in the map navigation correspond to present-day denominations and historical reality. We apologize for the resulting distortion and historical inaccuracy, and hope to improve this over time with the help of projects like OpenHistoricalMap as they evolve and mature. Please feedback any comments or issues to the editor.
