ABSTRACT
From the theoretical reflections developed in the passage between the twentieth century and the twenty-first century, this text tries to give account both the relationship between historiography and literary production, as the relationship between temporal logic and spatial distribution, which have been reconsidered by Italian criticism of last years. In this new problematic constellation, which can be glimpsed is a strong concern with the historical horizon and the deviations in form in the current national context. The works are considered, in particular those of Alberto Asor Rosa and Franco Moretti.
Keywords: Historiography; geography; Literature.
