Carefully packed and quickly sent. 201512366 In both Canada and Australia there is a close relationship between historical development and geographical discovery, and therefore maps and mapping are prevalent in their respective literatures. Maps have provided Canadian and Australian writers with a means of coming t o terms with, and celebrating the(re)discovery of, their countries. Graham Huggan establishes basic principles for a literary cartography ;by charting ideological links between the physical maps of geography and the conceptual maps of literature. In his comparative analysis of Contemporary Canadian, Quebecois, and Australian fiction, Huggan argues that maps are not simply useful rhetorical devices; they are symbolic sites for the competing heterodoxies of Canadian and Australian culture.
