Novels, Maps, Modernity

Více o knize

Exploring the interplay between cartographic devices and literature, this work reveals how maps, sea charts, and aerial photographs have influenced the representation of space in novels from the mid-nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Eric Bulson argues that these tools do more than guide; they reflect deeper narratives about capitalism, urbanization, empire, and the impact of world wars, suggesting a nuanced relationship between geography and storytelling.
