was keenly interested in
cartography. He
producedthis map of
Walden Pond, complete
with landmarks and

the first (1854) edition of
Walden; or , Life in the
Woods, it has peculiarly
been omitted from many
modern editions.

Ishmael’s profound
desolation when the

11. The Harlem Renaissance,
named after the Manhattan
neighborhood, was a huge
outpouring of African-
American publications and
musical or theatrical
performances.
From 1917 to at least the mid-
1930s, this was a primary
cultural hub for the increased
northward migration. James
Baldwin, Countee Cullen,
W.E.B. DuBois, Ralph Ellison,
Langston Hughes, & Zora
Neale Hurston are on this
map, along with famous
musical venues and theaters.

MargaretAnderson, Saul Bellow,
Frank Norris, Upton Sinclair,
William Carlos Williams, and the

27. Literature of the slave-holding states
Frederick Douglass appears in Maryland, Zora
Neale Hurston in Florida, and Richard Wright’s
birthplace in Mississippi is shown, although he
later lived in Memphis and Chicago.
Rivers feature prominently in Southern
literature that deals with slaves, as they
represent legal borders as well as corridors for
travel. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle
Tom’s Cabin in outrage at the scenes she saw
across the Ohio River, and Mark Twain’s
HuckleberryFinn is motivated in part by Jim
and Huck traveling the Mississippi River after
missing its junction with the Ohio, which would
have led the pair to free states.

37. In the fairy tale of Cinderella […] versions
containing the gathering of bones are
documented in China, Vietnam, India,
Russia, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Serbia, Dalmatia,
Sicily, Sardinia, Provence, Brittany, Lorraine,
Scotland, and Finland. So immense and
varied a distribution precludes the
possibility that the presence of this theme in
the fable’s plot is the result of a casual graft.
A further hypothesis is permissible: namely,
that the version which includes the
resurrection of the killed animal is the more
complete one.

58. Sherlock Holmes’ London
Unlike Doyle’s first two novels, which take
place mostly south of the Thames, the short
stories from 1891 onwards mostly focus on
the West End and the City. The short
stories were far more immediately popular
than the novels. Holmes’ success may be
due to the shift in location to what the
public saw as the “right” space for
detectives.

67. In the Waverley novels […] there is a three-estate
time-line, running from a civilized estate […] up the
king’s highway to a semi-civilized estate (or the
“Lowland estate” at the base of a “formidable
topographical barrier,” and finally over the barrier to
a fully-feudal estate (or the “Highland estate,” the
realm of Fergus, Burley, or Rob Roy). […] The final
marriage between the Waverley hero (who has had
Hanoverian political ties) and the Jacobite heiress
does not cross the novel’s topographical barrier. […]
Scottish culture, in the form of the Lowland estate, is
incorporated into the nation, but Scottish political
nationalism is left in the past, on the other side of the
topographical barrier.

68. There is no European nation, which, within the course of
half a century, or little more, has undergone so complete a
change as this kingdom of Scotland. The effects of the
insurrection of 1745, – the destruction of the patriarchal
power of the Highland chiefs, – the abolition of the
heritable jurisdiction of the Lowland nobility and barons,
– the total eradication of the Jacobite party, which,
averse to intermingle with the English, or adopt their
customs, long continued to pride themselves upon
maintaining ancient Scottish manners and costumes, –
commenced this innovation. The graduate influx of
wealth, and extension of commerce, have since united to
render the present people of Scotland a class of beings as
different from their grandfathers, as the existing English
are from those of Queen Elizabeth’s time.
— Walter Scott, “A Postscript,” Waverley

75. Encounters in a novel usually take place “on
the road.” The Road is a particularly good
place for random encounters. On the road, the
spatial and temporal paths of the most varied
people […] intersect at one spatial and
temporal point. People who are normally
kept separate by social and spatial distance
can accidentally meet; any contrast may crop
up, the most varied fates may collide and
interweave with one another.

theChronotopein theNovel

Franco Moretti uses this map of the
northern African trade routes to critique
the English depictions of North Africain
colonial novels, none of which
accommodatethis regional economic
institution in their fiction.
According to Moretti, ignoring this fact
allowed these British novels to serve
British interests by envisioning Africaas
an unrefined resource rather than a land
with histories and economies of its own.

organization and
surprising
narrative conceit.
