More Description
Divided into six chapters, each dealing with different aspects of the spatial in literary studies, the book provides:
- An overview of the spatial turn in literary theory - from modern philosophy and historicism to cartography and literary theory
- Introductions to the major theorists such as Michel Foucault, David Harvey, Edward Soja, Erich Auerbach, Georg Lukács, and Mikhail Bakhtin
- An analysis of spatiality from a variety of perspectives - the writer as map-maker, different literary and critical 'spaces', the concept of literary geography, cartographics and geocriticism.
As the first guide to the literature and criticism of 'space', this clear and engaging book is essential reading.
