What is Geo criticism?

Geo criticism is a branch of literary criticism that examines the relationship between literature and geography. It focuses on the ways that literary texts represent and interact with geographical space and place, and how these representations shape our understanding of the world. Geo critics often examine issues such as the ways that authors use regionalism or place-based imagery to construct cultural identities, or the role of literary depictions of the environment in shaping our perceptions of environmental issues. Through its multidisciplinary approach, geo criticism seeks to deepen our understanding of the complex relationship between literature and the spaces and places that it reflects and helps to shape.
