Literary tourism: the Outlander effect and the authenticity of literary places in historical fiction
Main Article Content
Abstract
The following note aims to address the question of the authenticity of literary places in a specific literary context, the genre of historical fiction, which is characterised by, to a greater or lesser extent, mixing real elements and events with fictional ones to make the plot presented more enjoyable for the consumer. In this way, we will try to analyse two key spaces of the Outlander book saga, also adapted into a television series, such as Craigh Na Dun and Culloden, in the light of, mainly, two studies: Quinteiro and Baleiro (2017) and Reijnders (2011).
