Matters of space, spatiality, geography, topography and place have
mostly remained neglected in modern scholarship and teaching
because in most modern and postmodern literary criticism history
and temporality have been dominating discourses. But in recent
criticism the "when" and "what" of literature yield place to
"where" as Michel Foucault declared the present time as "the epoch
of space". Literature reflects a spirit of place and a sense of
place because place is known and given meaning when it is felt and
closely experienced by human beings living in it. This humanistic
geographical emphasis on human experience of place opens up the
possibility of an interdisciplinary study of literature of
geography. Literature creates and recreates geography in its own
way and there are many ways of looking at literary representation
of space and place. The book is meant to offer a good introduction
to those divergent ways in which space, place, topography and
geography evince themselves in literature.
