Working at the crossroads of contemporary geographical and cultural
theory, the book explores how social spaces function as sites which
foreground D. H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf's critiques of the
social order and longings for change. Looking at various social
spaces from homes to nations to utopian space brought into the here
and now the book shows the ways in which these writers criticize
and deconstruct the contemporary symbolic, physical, and discursive
spatial topoi of the dominant socio-spatial order and envision a
more liberating and inclusive human geography. In addition, the
book calls for the need to redress the tendency of some spatial
theories to underestimate the political potential of literary
discourse about space, instead of simply and mechanically
appropriating some theoretical concepts to literary criticism. One
of the central findings in the book, therefore, is that literary
texts can perform subversive interventions in the production of
social space through their critical interaction with dominant
spatial codes.
