This book documents a new approach to literary geographies based
around the Literary Atlas of Wales. It introduces an innovative
"plotted" approach which empowers reading, creates connections to
localities, histories, and communities, and inspires interest in
literature and geography. It showcases how literary geographies can be
mobilized through the plotted approach to reading. Through documenting
the Literary Atlas of Wales project, this book outlines how the
plotted approach was used to engage with English-language novels set
in Wales. It argues that the future of this interdisciplinary subject
area should be premised upon nurturing instability, turbulence, and
experimentation in order to produce new insights which can change the
way we understand the relations not only between literature and place
but also between other modern categories, including academic
disciplines. This book will be of interest to all readers of
literature, human geography, mapping, heritage studies, and tourism.
It will be beneficial to those interested in the domains of
cartography, creative humanities, cultural sociology, human geography,
literary studies, and print cultures.
