In the first-person works of these authors, maps situate the narrator within the imaginary space of the novel. Yet the time inherent in the text’s narrative unsettles the spatial self drawn by the maps and so creates a novel self, one which is both new and literary. The novel self transcends the rigid confines of a map. In this significant study, Patrick M. Bray charts a new direction in critical theory.Subjectivity in literatureSpace and time in literatureFrench fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismSubjectivity in literature.Space and time in literature.French fictionHistory and criticism.843.709384Bray Patrick M(Patrick Maxwell)989852MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910213856703321The Novel Map2264071UNINA
