    Introduction: friendship, gender, politics -- Indemnity for enemies, oblivion for friends: changing political allegiances in the English civil wars -- "Obligation here is injury": exemplary friendship in Katherine Philips's coterie -- The garden of Epicurus and the garden of Eden: friendship's counsel in De rurum natura and Order and disorder -- "Women, like princes, find no real friends": the manscript tradition and Katherine Philips's reputation in Lucy Hutchinson's writings -- Covert politics and separatist women's friendship: Margaret Cavendish and Mary Astell

    "Penelope Anderson's original study changes our understanding both of the masculine Renaissance friendship tradition and of the private forms of women's friendship of the eighteenth century and after. It uncovers the latent threat of betrayal lurking within politicized classical and humanist friendship, showing its surprising resilience as a model for political obligation undone and remade. Incorporating authors from Cicero to Abraham Cowley and Margaret Cavendish to Mary Astell, the book focuses on two extraordinary women writers, the royalist Katherine Philips and the republican Lucy Hutchinson. And it explores the ways in which they appropriate the friendship tradition in order to address problems of conflicting allegiances in the English Civil Wars and Restoration. As Penelope Anderson suggests, their writings on friendship provide a new account of women's relation to public life, organized through textual exchange rather than bodily reproduction."

    Introduction: mapping imperial hierarchies and ruling the world -- The dysfunctional "family of man": Mary Anne Venning and Barbara Hofland classify human races in pre-darwinian primers -- Place settings at the imperial dinner party: hierarchies of consumption in the works of Favell Lee Mortimer, Sarah Lee, and Priscilla Wakefield -- Terra incognita: the gendering of geographic experience in the works of Barbara Hofland, Priscilla Wakefield, Mary H.C. Legh, Lucy Wilson, Mrs. E. Burrows, and Maria Hack -- "Prisoners in its spatial matrix"? resisting imperial geography in thirdspace -- Conclusion: contextualizing archival recovery

    During the nineteenth century, geography primers shaped the worldviews of Britain's ruling classes and laid the foundation for an increasingly globalized world. Written by middle-class women who mapped the world that they had neither funds nor freedom to traverse, the primers employed rhetorical tropes such as the Family of Man or discussions of food and customs in order to plot other cultures along an imperial hierarchy. Cross-disciplinary in nature, X Marks the Spot is an analysis of previously unknown material that examines the interplay between gender, imperial duty, and pedagogy. Mega
