It focuses on “literary space,” presented as a territory defined by the period setting or as evoked by the characters, which can be georeferenced and drawn on a map. We suggest a new approach for mapping a relatively comprehensive body of literature about Lisbon (Portugal) by combining literary criticism, urban history, and geographic information systems (GIS).
