Notes:: "This Special Issue contains 12 papers on the theme of literature which holds representations beyond geographical reality, invoking instead states of mind, moods, and milieus, which widen our understanding of the world. Specifically, the following themes are addressed: the influence of Anglo-American humanist geography and the lesser known directions pursued by European humanist geographers; the experiences of a mental institution as portrayed by Janet Frame's Faces in the water; understandings of landscape and inscape from the writings of the eastern Ontario region; recent developments in literary resource interpretation; writing and iconography in romantic voyaging in the Alps; Dicken's representation of London and its reliance on verisimilitude; the texts of Beatrix Potter as a form of cultural communication; the works of Ippolito Nievo and what they reveal about the Friulian landscape; tellurism, mythical realism and magical realism in the works of South Americal writers Jose M. Arguedas, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Pablo Neruda; and poets and narrators and their local perceptions of Mendoza, Argentina." -- Scopus

Notes:: "The geographic backdrop of the work of three noted South American writers is reviewed under the stylistic categories of tellurism, mythical realism and magical realism. The acute sense of place demonstrated by these authors is explained on the basis of ethnical roots, collective mental constructs and colonial experiences. Jose? Maria Arguedas has offered a poignant socio-mythical interpretation of the rise and fall of Chimbote, Peru's major fishing port in his postumous novel El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo which is useful to grasp the problems of that country. The atmosphere of Caribbean Colombia has been recorded with great vigor in several novels of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Tellurism acquires a particular significance in three poems of Neruda which are presented as examples of his poetic views of physical Chilean landscapes and the select use of vocables. © 1996 (January) Kluwer Academic Publishers."
