In this study, the author shows that, under the influence of the
popular geography of the eighteenth century, an increasing number
of literary works began to make use of actual topographical data.
Two of these works even make use of maps. He demonstrates that the
kinship between geographical and literary representations of
topography went further: they underwent parallel developments. His
analyses of the different types of geographical representations of
space that appeared in the course of the century allow him to
explore the worldviews they embody, the new and often conflicting
attitudes to space that they reveal, and the connections these
representations have with the evolution of the contemporary notions
of motion and mobility. The author underlines the role these
topographical representations played in the nascent realism of the
novel and the new life they breathed into poetry. His study is also
a contribution to the discussion of the important changes that
occurred in the way people thought about and lived space, many of
which announce our time.
