Robert T. Tally Jr. explores differing aspects of the spatial in literary studies today, providing:    An overview of the spatial turn across literary theory, from historicism and postmodernism to postcolonialism and globalization Introductions to the major theorists of spatiality, including Michel Foucault, David Harvey, Edward Soja, Erich Auerbach, Georg Lukács, and Fredric Jameson Analysis of critical perspectives on spatiality, such as the writer as map-maker, literature of the city and urban space, and the concepts of literary geography, cartographics and geocriticism.  This clear and engaging study presents readers with a thought provoking and illuminating guide to the literature and criticism of ‘space’.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49609330000145,"sku":"GOR013653605","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50003599065361,"sku":"GOR007307629","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50352201302289,"sku":"CIN0415664403G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50697089843473,"sku":"NGR9780415664400","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52122881032465,"sku":"NLS9780415664400","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415664403.jpg?v=1750910403"},{"product_id":"poe-and-the-subversion-of-american-literature-book-robert-t-tally-jr-9781501309298","title":"Poe and the Subversion of American Literature","description":"Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2014  In Poe and the Subversion of American Literature,  Robert T. Tally Jr. argues that Edgar Allan Poe is best understood, not  merely as a talented artist or canny magazinist, but primarily as a  practical joker who employs satire and fantasy to poke fun at an  emergent nationalist discourse circulating in the United States. Poe’s  satirical and fantastic mode, on display even in his apparently serious  short stories and literary criticism, undermines the earnest attempts to  establish a distinctively national literature in the nineteenth  century. In retrospect, Poe’s work also subtly subverts the tenets of an  institutionalized American Studies in the twentieth century. Tally  interprets Poe’s life and works in light of his own social milieu and in  relation to the disciplinary field of American literary studies,  finding Poe to be neither the poète maudit of popular mythology  nor the representative American writer revealed by recent scholarship.  Rather, Poe is an untimely figure whose work ultimately makes a mockery  of those who would seek to contain it. Drawing upon Gilles Deleuze's  distinction between nomad thought and state philosophy, Tally argues  that Poe’s varied literary and critical writings represent an  alternative to American literature. Through his satirical critique of  U.S. national culture and his otherworldly projection of a postnational  space of the imagination, Poe establishes a subterranean, nomadic, and  altogether worldly literary practice.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50095575630097,"sku":"CIN1501309293VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52148732854545,"sku":"NLS9781501309298","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B010DQK3X4.jpg?v=1751458845"},{"product_id":"teaching-space-place-and-literature-book-robert-tally-jr-9781138047037","title":"Teaching Space, Place, and Literature","description":"Space, place and mapping have become key concepts in literary and cultural studies.
