The geographer's degree of freedom: Wreford Watson, postwar progress in human geography, and the future of scholarship in UK geography

Auteur :
JOHNSTON, R.J.

Description :
The paper is an excursion into the relatively recent history of geography, based on an appreciation of four of Wreford Watson's main contributions to its literature. The first theme is that the history of the discipline has not been a linear sequence building on the published works, because many of them appear to have been ignored. The second theme asks whether the future for the sort of scholarship promoted by W.W. is bleak.
