World Views - Metageographies of Modernist Fiction

Zusatztext World Views uncovers a vital, but heretofore neglected, aspect of modernist critique. The metageographies of modernist fiction allow us to see the world on multiple scales, including the national; to map our surroundings based on embodiment and local practices; and to think about the connections between mapping and textuality: the circuitous, twisting, contingent, and ambiguous lines that both extend and limit our purview. Informationen zum Autor Jon Hegglund is Associate Professor of English at Washington State University.
