Abstract
Aim. The purpose of the paper is to develop the concept of the first literary atlas of Russia.
Methodology. A critical analysis of literary mapping and literary atlas composition is presented. Key issues are identified. The research relies on the use of such methods as the method of system analysis, historical and geographical method, the cartography method, the mapping method, and the comparative-descriptive method.
Results. We have developed a typology of literary maps, and the principles of compiling a literary and geographical atlas. The necessary geographical methods for working with literary texts, including a comprehensive cultural and geographical methodology for studying and mapping literary trips, are described. Russian literary and geographical zoning is performed on the basis of V. N. Kalutskov’s cultural and geographical zoning of Russia, as a result of which 10 major literary and geographical regions are distinguished. The structure of the literary atlas of Russia is proposed.
Research implication. The concept of the first literary atlas of Russia is developed, which can be used in the development of national and regional literary atlases. The atlas can be useful not only to specialists in cultural geography, but also to a wide readership, including teachers and students of higher education.
