Romantic Geography by Yi-Fu Tuan

Yi-Fu Tuan established a global reputation for deepening the field of geography by examining its moral, universal, philosophical, and poetic potentials and implications. In Romantic Geography, he considers the human tendency to find salvation in geographies that cater not so much to survival needs (or even to good, comfortable living) as to the passionate and romantic aspirations of their nature.

Yi-Fu Tuan (1930–2022) was the J. K. Wright and Vilas Professor Emeritus of Geography at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and author of twenty-two books, including Morality and Imagination, The Good Life, Human Goodness, and his autobiography, Who Am I?
