Sažetak
The paper reveals the concord in the treatment of the fictional space complex topography, thus declining the existent Eurocentric cultural stereotypes and the ideologically founded polarity of the metropolitan and provincial in the European novel at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Thomas Hardy and Ante Kovačić happen to have overcome developmental discontinuities of the 'prime' English and 'secondary' Croatian literatures by deploying imaginary landscapes meant to sustain a narrative ethics that would promote a substantial change of the image of proper place and re-institute one's right to difference. The two authors engender narrative landscapes focused on space exposed to change. Their narrative spaces are atopical places created to symbolize their characters' unstable national, gender, and class identities.
