Here are the first writers that come to mind who used personal universes, with recognizable stories that can be traced back to a historical-geographical and chronological context. Tolkien's Arda : the world in which the events of his works take place, basically an Earth invented in an imaginary era. The Zamonia of Moers : the continent where everything is possible. And with this slogan Moers has ensured himself endless stories, because the incredible and the improbable really happen in Zamonia, it is a world that gives space to the wildest imagination.
Lovecraft's Worlds : From dream worlds to fictional locations, Lovecraft created a dark and frightening universe as the backdrop to his horror stories. Mitchell's Reality : I've only read two novels, but I found connections between one and the other, Nine Degrees of Freedom and Cloud Atlas . It could be a sort of personal world of Mitchell, in which some Phone Number Data characters from one novel find themselves, perhaps as a simple reference, in another. Camilleri's La Vigata : although real locations appear, Montalbano's stories are set in a city invented by the Sicilian author. What are the advantages of creating your own world? I am convinced that a writer can only find advantages in creating a personal reality.
Naturally this universe must not cage the author and force him not to leave it. A writer is an explorer: as such he will feel the need to explore new spaces and new eras. Recognizability of the narrative corpus : each work is original, in its own right, but recognizable within a vast container of historical-geographical contexts. Differentiation of the author : in the chaos of writers the author differs because he presents himself with his own cosmology. Strengthening of the author-work combination : with his own universe, the writer is increasingly identified in the works he creates and these are increasingly identifiable to the author.
