Produktbeschreibung
Working at the crossroads of contemporary geographical and cultural theory, the book explores how social spaces function as sites which foreground D. H.

One of the central findings in the book, therefore, is that literary texts can perform subversive interventions in the production of social space through their critical interaction with dominant spatial codes.
