“…En los análisis de la relación entre literatura y geopolítica he recurrido en más de una ocasión a un capítulo del Atlas de la novela europea de Franco Moretti en el que contrasta las geografías literarias de las novelas sentimentales ("Silver Fork") de Jane Austen con las novelas históricas de Sir Walter Scott.
