But the fragmentation of empire and subsequent "Age of Disunion" (220-589 CE) that followed undermined imperial orthodoxies of unity, centrality, and universality. In response, geographical writing proliferated, exploring greater spatial complexities and alternative worldviews.This book is the first study of the emergent genre of geographical writing and the metageographies that structured its spatial thought during that period.
