This dissertation explores how writers, artists, and geographers from the second half of the 19th century represented landscapes as dynamic places whose interconnectedness encourages a relational understanding of French geography and identity. The study begins in Fontainebleau Forest, where a "reserve artistique" was proposed in 1853 and finalized in 1861. Led by artists, writers, and other forest enthusiasts, Fontainebleau became a cause celebre in the "rediscovery" of France's natural spaces. In the following decades, writers, artists, and geographers would reinvest France's previously shunned or ignored forested, mountainous, and marine landscapes with new meanings, while showing how these apparently distinct geographies were in fact parts of a larger whole. Tracing this evolution in geographical aesthetics, the dissertation focuses on the dynamic representation of three landscape types, forests, mountains, and seas, in the works of: Gustave Flaubert (Madame Bovary [1857], L'Education sentimentale [1869]), the Goncourt brothers (Manette Salomon [1867]), Theophile Gautier (Les Vacances du lundi [1869]), Alphonse Daudet ( Tartarin sur les Alpes [1885]), Jules Michelet (La Mer [1861]), Victor Hugo (Les Travailleurs de la mer [1866]), Jules Verne (Vingt mille lieues sous les mers [1870]), Honore de Balzac (Le Medecin de campagne [1833]), Guy de Maupassant ("L'Auberge" [1886], "Sur l'eau" [1876], Le Horla [1887]), the landscape paintings of Theodore Rousseau, and geographer Elisee Reclus (Histoire d'un ruisseau [1869], Nouvelle Geographie universelle [1876]). Drawing on theoretical work by Alain Corbin, Michel Collot, contemporaneous geographers, and the conceptual tools of ecocriticism, geocriticism, and literary geography, the study shows how these thinkers understood France as a relational geography, a place in constant flux, with each diverse landscape interacting to create a network of connected places across time and space. Ultimately, their works reinterpreted human identity as fundamentally related to the geographical places of the earth.
