Rezension zu „Literary Landscapes “
'This is a very well considered essay collection that includes some experienced and highly able scholars. The essays in the volume are original, cross-cultural in content, and make a valuable contribution to the burgeoning field of geographies in literature.' - Linda Dryden, Reader in Literature and Culture, Napier University, UK 'This in-depth and carefully argued collection of essays...has a strong cross-cultural premise that emphasizes the significant ways in which the experience and depiction of space and place in modernist and postcolonial literary texts overlap.' - Susan Smit-Marais, PYP Online
