The monograph is devoted to the peculiarities of the perception of space and approaches to its representation in Russia and England in the 16th-19th centuries. On the basis of extensive cartographic and travelographic material, the transformations that took place in the perception of space in the period of modern times are traced. The use of an interdisciplinary approach and the inclusion in the research apparatus of developments from the history of science, metageography and metalinguistics made it possible to formulate an original concept for the development of receptive-representative strategies in an era of change, when the natural-scientific and socio-political categories of space were closely intertwined with each other.
