Summary/Abstract: The geo-criticism is a method of literary analysis and a literary theory which is interested in the study of space. The first works included in this area were the results of symposium organized by Bertrand Westphal at the University of Limoges. His contribution together with his subsequent works represent the proclamation of this new branch of science. At first we will make a synthetical presentation of the most important works on space written during the first decades of the 20th century, then we will analyze this method which we consider to be the most modern and the most fascinating at the beginning of the 21st century.
