  In a series of one hundred maps, Franco Moretti explores the fictionalization of geography in the nineteenth-century novel. Balzac's Paris, Dickens's London and Scott's Scottish Lowlands are mapped, alongside the territories of Spanish picaresque novels, African colonial romances and Russian novels of ideas, in a path-breaking study which suggests that space may well be the secret protagonist of cultural history.

  Explores the connections between literature and space. The author's aim is to use maps, not as ornaments, but as analytical tools which, in making connections explicit and visible, allow us to see literature in a new way. Included in the maps is Dickens's and Conan Doyle's London.
