Hidden Cities

This ground-breaking collection explores the convergence of the spatial and digital turns through a consideration of a suite of smartphone apps (Hidden Cities) that situate research-led itineraries in early modern cities, proposing an innovative historical methodology and providing a novel medium for audience engagement. This book explores how the team digitally mapped the cities of Florence, Valencia, Trento, Hamburg, Deventer and Exeter as they were during the Renaissance and what historians can learn by doing this, which would not be possible by looking at just textual and visual sources. Providing researchers with a 'how to guide' along with case studies to explore how digital technologies can support more traditional research to move the field forward.
