Not Another Book About Landscape
Résumé
Mapping with Words rests upon the geocritical axiom that literary representations of space modelize the world they unify and render intelligible through the features they select, organize and invest with aesthetic value. After D.M. Bentley and Misao Dean who have preceded her in this direction, Sarah Wylie Krotz demonstrates that for the Anglo-Canadian writers of the nineteenth century, poeticizing the world was equivalent to cultivating it. Yet, if her study qualifies as literary geography, it is not owing to the landscapes her selected sources made memorable, but rather because of the mental maps their authors elaborated to navigate the spaces that were opening as Canada was moving from the age of exploration to the age of surveying and settlement.
