The combination of the study of literature and a geographical perspective (Ridanpää (2007) Soc. & Cult. Geog. 8, 6); how and why the geographical setting is important in the plot or mood of a text or texts, and how the setting itself advances the plot, as in E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India; the study of textual meaning as it is differentiated across space (Saunders (2011) PHG 33, 4, 436).
