This open access collection offers a detailed mapping of recent
Nordic literature and its different genres (fiction, poetry, and
children's literature) through the perspective of spatiality.
Concentrating on contemporary Nordic literature, the book presents
a distinctive view on the spatial turn and widens the understanding
of Nordic literature outside of canonized authors. Examining
literatures by Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish authors, the
chapters investigate a recurrent theme of social criticism and
analyze this criticism against the welfare state and power
hierarchies in spatial terms. The chapters explore various
narrative worlds and spaces-from the urban to parks and forests,
from textual spaces to spatial thematics, studying these spatial
features in relation to the problems of late modernity.
