Exhibit: Mapping Fiction
- see all dates
If a picture is worth a thousand words, what's a map worth? The Huntington's newest exhibit looks at how maps help create the worlds of fiction.
Drawing from the Huntington's own extensive collections, the exhibit focuses on novels and maps from the 16th through the 20th century - largely early editions of books that include elaborate maps of imaginary worlds. Among the highlights are Lewis Carroll’s 1876 edition of The Hunting of the Snark, Robert Louis Stevenson’s maps from Treasure Island and Kidnapped, J. R. R. Tolkien’s map from the trilogy The Lord of the Rings, and science fiction writer Octavia E. Butler’s hand-drawn maps from notes for Parable of the Talents (1998) and her unpublished novel Parable of the Trickster.
The exhibition is timed to coincide with the centennial of the publication of James Joyce’s groundbreaking 1922 modernist novel, Ulysses.
