More particularly, a wide range of writers, exploring a diverse range of landscapes, focused on the local and the everyday in examining ‘the undiscovered country of the nearby’ (Robert Macfarlane). This literary geographical monograph is the first book-length study of such works of place writing and offers detailed readings of key texts by, amongst others, Elizabeth-Jane Burnett, Rachel Lichtenstein, Amy Liptrot, Iain Sinclair, Richard Skelton, and Jean Sprackland. Many of these place writing books have been described as immersive works of literature; but, to date, the precise meaning of that term has remained unexamined. How, then, do a range of creative nonfictional texts from the 2010s function as works of immersive place writing? By extension, how do such creative nonfictional texts – rooted, as they are, in the articulation of actual geographical experience – complicate the understanding of what it means for a reader to be imaginatively immersed in a literary work? \u003cem\u003eReading Place Writing\u003c\/em\u003e explores these critical questions through an interdisciplinary enlacing of geographical thought, cognitive linguistics, narrative theory, and a series of creative-critical interventions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57298337857880,"sku":"9781805969815","price":132.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781805969815_647183d4-35b2-4308-8b60-9174952bb58e.jpg?v=1780454753","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/reading-place-writing","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
