Mapping with Words re-conceptualizes settler writing as literary
cartography. The topographical descriptions of early Canadian
settler writers generated not only picturesque and sublime
landscapes, but also verbal maps. These worked to orient readers,
reinforcing and expanding the cartographic order of the emerging
colonial dominion. Drawing upon the work of critical and cultural
geographers as well as literary theorists, Sarah Wylie Krotz opens
up important aesthetic and political dimensions of both familiar
and obscure texts from the nineteenth century, including Thomas
Cary's Abram's Plains, George Monro Grant's Ocean to Ocean, and
Susanna Moodie's Roughing it in the Bush. Highlighting the complex
territoriality that emerges from their cartographic aesthetics,
Krotz offers fresh readings of these texts, illuminating their role
in an emerging spatial imaginary that was at once deeply invested
in the production of colonial spaces and at the same time enmeshed
in the realities of confronting Indigenous sovereignties.
