"Language of the Land The Library of Congress Book of Literary Maps",

This unusual and illuminating reference focuses on literary maps, defined in the author's note as "a map that records the location and identity of geographical places and features associated with authors and their works and serves as a guide to the worlds of novelists, poets, dramatists, and other authors of imaginative literature. Our definition also includes folklore maps and literary atlases." The book contains annotations and illustrations for over 200 maps (several of which appear in color), including maps tracing Aneneas' voyages in Virgil's Aeneid, Thoreau's own depiction of Walden Pond, a rendering J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth, and more. Written by Martha Hopkins and Michael Buscher. Hardbound, 304 pp., with an index.
