The City of Paper: Saint-Malo and its concentric spatiality in the saga Ces Messieurs de Saint-Malo by Bernard Simiot

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate, using a geo-literary approach, the way in which territorial descriptions are created in popular literature. Furthermore, it studies the role of popular literature in defining the geographical imaginary of its readers. Moreover, this work can be collocated in the area of study regarding regional literature and the roman de terroir: a unique feature of French literature.
