Smith and Kylie Korsnack -- Bibliography -- Index. 330 $aThis volume moves the debate about literature and geography in a new direction by showing the significance of spatial settings in the enormous and complex field of popular fiction. Approaching popular genres as complicated systems of meaning, the collected essays model key theoretical and critical approaches for interrogating the meaning of space and place across diverse genres, including crime, thrillers, fantasy, science fiction, and romance. Including topics such as classic English ghost stories, blockbuster Antarctic thrillers, prize-winning Montreal crime fiction, J. R. R. Tolkien?s Middle-earth, and China Miéville?s Bas-Lag, among others, this book brings together analyses of the real-and-imagined settings of some of the most widely read authors and texts of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries to show how they have an immeasurable impact on our spatial awareness and imagination. 410 0$aGeocriticism and Spatial Literary Studies 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aLiterature    606 $aLiterature?Philosophy 606 $aCulture?Study and teaching 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aAmerica?Literatures 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000 606 $aPostcolonial/World Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/838000 606 $aLiterary Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/812000 606 $aCultural Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411130 606 $aEuropean Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/832000 606 $aNorth American Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/834000 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aLiterature   . 615 0$aLiterature?Philosophy. 615 0$aCulture?Study and teaching. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aAmerica?Literatures. 615 14$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aPostcolonial/World Literature. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aCultural Theory. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 676 $a809.04 702 $aFletcher$b Lisa$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149433903321 996 $aPopular Fiction and Spatiality$92531167 997 $aUNINA
