Do we map as we read? How central to our experience of literature
is the way in which we spatialise and visualise a fictional world?
Reading and Mapping Fiction offers a fresh approach to the
interpretation of literary space and place centred upon the
emergence of a fictional map alongside the text in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Bringing together a range
of new and emerging theories, including cognitive mapping and
critical cartography, Bushell compellingly argues that this
activity, whatever it is called - mapping, diagramming,
visualising, spatialising - is a vital and intrinsic part of how we
experience literature, and of what makes it so powerful. Drawing on
both the theory and history of literature and cartography, this
richly illustrated study opens up understanding of spatial meaning
and interpretation in new ways that are relevant to both more
traditional academic scholarship and to newly emerging digital
practices.
