Henry Clifford Darby (Sir Clifford in his later years) was—and arguably remains—Britain’s most well known historical geographer. The Relations of History and Geography consists of a dozen chapters, arranged as three sets of four essays that focus on England, France, and America. At the heart of this book lies a window onto Darby’s views of historical geography, as a field of inquiry, in the three realms over which he cast his gaze.
