Abstract
In a work the size of War and Peace, with its mass of detail, digital mapping can assist in productively visualizing space and movement. This article looks at the geographical movements of three representative characters: Pierre Bezukhov, Helene Bezukhova, and Napoleon Bonaparte. Of these characters, two have fictional geographic journeys constructed by Tolstoy, whereas Napoleon has an historically authenticated journey, used as a point of comparison to reveal how Tolstoy manipulates space in War and Peace. The geographical trajectories of these three characters, though only a small slice of a complicated, broad network of movements, illustrate how space and travel away from centers of meaning and power reflect and assist character development.
