“…This does not mean considering literature instrumentally, namely as a 'raw material to prove or illustrate various theoretical positions held by the geographer', an attitude that Sharp (2000: 329) contests to critical geographers' readings of literary texts; rather, it means to consider, with Brosseau (1995), 'the novel as a geographer'. Literary texts are here conceived as sites for 'alternative geographic epistemologies', and sources with which map thinkers should engage for epistemological insight; from literature, interrogations about geography's epistemological assumptions can arise, thus producing an impact on geographical knowledge (Brosseau, 2009: 214, 216).…”

The long superficial engagement of literary scholars with the cartographic lexicon (under the label of literary 'spatial turn') has led to a need for a 'recartographization' of the field. This tendency, however, still remains primarily embedded within analytical ('cartography of literature') or critical ('critical literary cartography') approaches, and fails to engage the recent development of post-representational rethinking of maps. Literary criticism, with its creative use of mapping words, and, above all, literary texts, with their involvement of practising maps, should be reconsidered as relevant sources for cartographic theorization and mapping research.

“…While the literary text may indeed pro-92 Nuala C. Johnson vide 'thick description ', Brosseau (1995) rightly points out that the novel is more than just a resource from which to excavate geographical facts or richly subjective accounts of place. Novels, he suggests, are a way of scripting places, which employ their own conventions of writing and inscription.…”

“…The power of the conclusion lies in its frankness, but its critical importance lies in its form (Brosseau 1995). The novel's focalization on the "home affairs" of Soames and Irene was a clear digression from Victorian social realism, but so too was the ending, which was subject to much controversy at the time of its writing.…”

This article explores the writing of home within John Galsworthy's (1867-1933) novel The Man of Property. The novel appeared in 1906 and was heralded by The Times Literary Supplement as a new kind of novel that wrote the world in a new and challenging way. Today, however, Galsworthy is rarely seen as an original or inventive writer and is more frequently considered to follow in the tradition of Victorian realism. Yet in The Man of Property there is evidence of stylistic and formal developments that differentiate Galsworthy from Victorian realism. It is a novel that focuses on the homes and home life of Soames and Irene Forsyte, but theirs is not an idealized or sentimentalized relationship; rather, it is one that is expressed through marital rape, megalomania, and the threat of AnghArAD SAunDerS IS A SenIOr lecturer In humAn geOgrAphy At the unIverSIty Of SOuth WAleS. her reSeArch IntereStS revOlve ArOunD the lIterAry AnD culturAl geOgrAphy Of the lAte nIneteenth tO the eArly tWentIeth centurIeS.
