Vitz argues that medieval narrative

Vitz argues that medieval narrative understands the position of the narrator in a very different way than modern narrative. While Vitz confirms that desire is organized by space even in medieval narrative, she makes clear that the focus on travel is inherently connected to our modern ways of thinking about narrative. As we have seen in earlier chapters, the corporeal narratology that I have developed depends on the modern body, which is at the base of contemporary ways of think­ ing about narrative.
