Huggan (English, Harvard U.) establishes basic principles for a literary cartography by charting ideological links between the physical maps of geography and the conceptual maps of literature in his comparative analysis of Canadian, Quebecoi, and Australian fiction. He argues that maps aren't merely rhetorical devices, but symbolic sites for competing heterodoxies of culture. He examines maps as symbols of national culture, and as self-parodic analogues for the literary text. Contains bandw illustrations. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
