Taking the genre-specific boundaries of Greco-Roman epic poetry as a case in point, a team of international scholars examines issues that lie at the heart of modern criticism on human geography. Modern and ancient discourse on space representations revolves around the nation-shaping force of geography, the gendered dynamics of landscapes, the topography of isolation and integration, the politics of imperialism, globalization, environmentalism as well as the power of language and narrative to turn space into place. One of the major aims of the volume is to show that the world of the Classics is not just the origin, but the essence of current debates on spatial constructions and reconstructions.Trends in classics.Supplementary volumes ;volume 22.Physical geographyLandscapesGeography.epic.narratology.topography.Physical geography.Landscapes.880.932FB 5875BSZrvkSkempis M(Marius),Ziogas Ioannis1977-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820560403321Geography, topography, landscape2675863UNINA
