Authors:  PETRONIA PETRAR. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  The present essay deals with a possible poetics of space as enacted by Lawrence Durrell’s Alexandria Quartet. The first part is concerned with placing the novel within a historical context that would help explaining the advent of an original, highly idiosyncratic work standing at the border between modernism and postmodernism. The next sections are conceived as inquiries into the manifest consequences of this poetics on the fictional structure using concepts borrowed from literary theory, philosophy, sociology, and – last but not least – contemporary science.
