To Spatialize Movement through Time and Existence in It

George P. Landow, Professor of English and Art History, Brown University

[Note 7, Chapter one, in print version]

W. J. T. Mitchell, "Spatial Form in Literature: Toward a General Theory". Critical Inquizy. 6 (1980): 539-67, argues convincingly that spatialization occurs in all literature and not, as Joseph Frank suggested in his seminal work, "Spatial Form in Modern Literature" (1945), just that of the modernists. See also Louis O. Mink, "History and Fiction as Modes of Comprehension". New Directions in Literary History. (1974), London: ed. Ralph Cohen, 107-24.
