| Description: |
This work investigates a cluster of concepts that gather around the question of topography and its uses in criticism. They include the initiating efficacy of speech acts, ethical responsibility, political or legislative power and the relation of personification to landscape. |
| Synopsis: |
This book investigates the function of topographical names and descriptions in a variety of narratives, poems, and philosophical or theoretical texts, primarily from the 19th and 20th centuries, but including also Plato and the Bible. Topics include the initiating efficacy of speech acts, ethical responsibility, political or legislative power, the translation of theory from one topographical location to another, the way topographical delineations can function as parable or allegory, and the relation of personification to landscape. |
