Hi, Just a quick query regarding geographies of the state in Britian and Ireland from the early modern period to the nineteenth century - does anyone know of geographers who have been doing any work on state formation and historical geography recently? My own research looks at the relationship between the State and locality in early 19th century Ireland and how the relationshop was modulated and codified by postal communications producing disticntive geogrpahies of power and control. I have been using Michael Mann's work on the development of the nation state and have been reading some of Felix Driver and Ruth Fincher's work on territory and the state. I was wondering if anyone might have any suggestions as who(if anyone) had been working in the same approximate area lately? Thanks in advance Garry Prendiville
