A Book Review of the Chinese Translation of The Routledge Handbook of Literature and Space
穆玉瑶（MU Yuyao）
Abstract: The Routledge Handbook of Literature and Space stands as the first authoritative and comprehensive reference that systematically surveys major research paradigms, theoretical frameworks, and methodological developments on spatial literary studies. It provides a rigorous synthesis of current scholarly landscape while illuminating emerging trends and future trajectories in literary geography and spatial criticism. The publication of its Chinese translation responds to the growing enthusiasm for literary and spatial studies in China while promoting academic exchange and dialogue between Chinese and the Western spatial literary criticism. This book review outlines the principal characteristics and contributions of the Handbook, examines the translation strategies adopted in the Chinese translation, and discusses the significance of the Chinese version in fostering dialogue between Chinese and Western literary geography.
Keywords: The Routledge Handbook of Literature and Space; spatial literary criticism; literary geography
