This volume moves the debate about literature and geography in a
new direction by showing the significance of spatial settings in
the enormous and complex field of popular fiction. Approaching
popular genres as complicated systems of meaning, the collected
essays model key theoretical and critical approaches for
interrogating the meaning of space and place across diverse genres,
including crime, thrillers, fantasy, science fiction, and romance.
Including topics such as classic English ghost stories, blockbuster
Antarctic thrillers, prize-winning Montreal crime fiction, J. R. R.
Tolkien's Middle-earth, and China Mieville's Bas-Lag, among others,
this book brings together analyses of the real-and-imagined
settings of some of the most widely read authors and texts of the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries to show how they have an
immeasurable impact on our spatial awareness and imagination.
