Coryat's Crudities: Rupert Hartley Experiment Rupert was to produce a guidebook entitled Telltales – a city guide, which would take the form of a collection of extracts from literary novels descriptive of places. The extracts would act as generic descriptions of place and would be categorized into scenes, gazes, walks and detours. The mappers would then be invited to select from these and through them construct their own strategy for touring Nottingham, negotiating one or a number of the fictions into the city. They would also be invited to document this process by making notes or drawings in the blank spaces and margins of the guidebook. Pages from the guidebook with the tourists' notes added Findings The guidebook was produced in an edition of four, allowing Rupert himself to assist the others with his own independent mapping. Though some of the descriptions were found to be simply not applicable to Nottingham (requiring too large a leap of imagination), the majority had correlates in the city, and could therefore be utilised in some form of navigation.
