The central reading assignment for Class 17 is Franco Moretti, Graphs, Maps, Trees (2005), pp. 35-64 (the chapter on "Maps").  Prior to class, each student should edit this page to mark out a passage or map in the chapter that they think is worth discussion or have a question about.  Look for something that sparks  your interest, makes you deeply puzzled, or that you think is particularly important for literary studies.  (Be sure to "save" the page when you are done, both to save your work and to release the editing lock so that others can edit!)

Use the following format:

(Page number) -- Type the quote if it is not too long; otherwise, just  indicate the page numbers or the figure (map) number.

Start below here (and separate your entry from others' with a horizontal rule:
