Abstract

This study is divided into two parts. The first part deals with a theoretical outline of the geographical criticism approach. It aims to show the essence and elements of geographical criticism, a completely new critical approach that highlights the relationship between geography and literature, the importance of space, the difference between place and space, and the relationship of man to space. Geographical criticism also focuses on the relationship between real and imaginary places in the study of literature and how it affects the understanding of literary work. While the second part deals with a practical application of this approach to three short stories of contemporary Indian novelist Sherman Alexey, who are the search engine, bar association, and can I get a witness? The study also examines how the writer uses different types of places and they are the right place, the inappropriate place, and the non-existent, as material elements that help to create multiple and different meanings in literary works.
