His prophecy has been fulfilled: the end of the twentieth century witnessed a 'spatial turn' in humanities which was perhaps partly due to the globalisation of our modern world. Inspired by the spatial turn in the humanities, this volume presents a number of essays on the ideological role of space in literary texts. The individual articles analyse ancient and modern literary texts from the angle of the most recent theoretical conceptualisations of space. The focus throughout is on how the experience of space is determined by dominant political, philosophical or religious ideologies and how, in turn, the description of spaces in literature is employed to express, broadcast or deconstruct this experience. By bringing together ancient and modern, mostly postcolonial texts, this volume hopes to stimulate discussion among disciplines and across continents. Among the authors discussed are: Homer, Nonnus, Alcaeus of Lesbos, Apollonius of Rhodes, Vergil, Herodotus, Panagiotis Soutsos, Assia Djebar, Tahar Djaout, Olive Senior, Jamaica Kincaid, Stefan Heym, Benoit Dutuertre, Henrik Stangerup and David Malouf. 606 $aLiterary Criticism / European$2bisacsh 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 615 7$aLiterary Criticism / European 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 700 $aKlooster$b Jacqueline$0802794 702 $aHeirman$b Jo 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910976783603321 996 $aThe Ideologies of Lived Space in Literary Texts$94321720 997 $aUNINA
