Literature maps , literature maps or literature atlases are cartographic representations of literary spaces.
The thematic literature cards are in the tradition of the synoptic teaching cards for "geographical" representation of terminologies and utopian cards among others of Cockaigne , or the Republic of love in the land of plenty at the time of the Enlightenment (see also: utopia , utopian and dystopian fiction ).
Topographic literature maps
The classic example of the fictional literary map are the maps of the imaginary locations of world literature by Alberto Manguel and Gianni Guadalupi , which were first published in 1980 with maps and maps by James Cook under the title The Dictionary of Imaginary Places .
Some literary works are based on such fictional maps, such as Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose , JRR Tolkien's novel The Lord of the Rings built on the map of Middle-earth , the island rock castle by Johann Gottfried Schnabel or The Scholarly Republic by Arno Schmidt .
While the fictional literature map usually only gives the reader a geographical, topographical overview of the location of the scene, the discovery of a map in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island triggers the entire course of events in the novel.
In contrast , the Atlante del romanzo europeo 1800–1990 by Franco Moretti , published in 1993, maps the topography of real landscapes and cities that are places of action in literature.
Literary guides such as the literary guide through the Federal Republic of Germany by Fred and Gabi Oberhauser (1974) contain maps to represent the cities and communities considered.
