Introducing David Lowenthal’s archipelagic and transatlantic landscapes
This editorial presents the articles contained in a special issue on David Lowenthal. It begins with a biographical sketch by Hugh Clout. Trevor Barnes continues with an article on Lowenthal’s concern with geography and its history. Luca Muscarà provides further biographical background with an article on the influence of Lowenthal’s transatlantic relationship with the French geographer Jean Gottmann beginning during WWII. Kenneth R. Olwig argues in his contribution that Lowenthal’s influential father, the lawyer and left-wing political activist Max Lowenthal, inspired Lowenthal’s literary style and approach to heritage. Lowenthal’s work in conservation is the subject of Laura Alice Watt’s essay. A thread running through all of David’s varied interests was islands; the topic of Elizabeth Thomas-Hope’s contribution. Sverker Sörlin concludes with an essay on the genesis of Lowenthal’s last book from 2019, Quest for the Unity of Knowledge, in the Stockholm Archipelago Lectures.
