  • Descrição: (Originally published as "Espacios Novelescos," Plural [Mexico], 1974, 4, 2, Nov, 8-15; it has been translated by Rene de Costa.) Space & time are interdependent in poetry & in novels, where invented space begins to exist at the moment of invention itself. Literary space is essential to a novel, but geographic space is only incidental to it. In literary worlds as in the real world, several levels of space are experienced; characters, like people, live simultaneously in different worlds; while Walter Mitty may physically be in the city, his mind soars through "clouds of fantasy." Several levels of meaning can be found in literary space, depending on whether the approach to reading is narrative, symbolic, or mythic. Traditionally, the novel was thought to be "an eminently temporal object." But Joseph Frank has suggested that modern literature may be moving towards a more spatial form (See "Spatial Form in Modern Literature," Swanee Review 1945; revised & included in The Widening Gyre Bloomington, IN: 1968, 3-60.). Gaston Bachelard had demonstrated the importance of vital spaces in literary imagery (See La Poetique de l'Espace [The Poetics of Space], Paris: 1957, 5th edition, 1967.): The reader finds himself in novelistic space; his particular place depends most of all on his personal situation. Space in literature is best understood in relation with time, characters, narrator, & reader, rather than through separate considerations of each of these elements. D. Burkenroad
