Turning Fiction into Reality: The Making of Two Places Within Literary Geography

The authors discuss the creation of literary places, based on people’s perceptions of a locality arising from their relations to particular writers and their texts. The analysis is grounded on two case studies: Ogulin in Croatia, which is the birthplace of Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić, a renowned writer of fairytales, and Sel in Norway, the place where Sigrid Undset’s heroine of the historical novel Kristin Lavransdaughter spent her youth. Both cases rely on materializing the writers’ fi ctional universes within specifi c localities. Although they emerge in different contexts, these literary places exhibit common determinants that provide additional insight in the placemaking process.
