Description

Time and the Literary explores how literature continuously reconstructs our understanding of time despite claims that information technology has rendered both obsolete. Featuring Paul de Man's seminal essay Literary History and Literary Modernity alongside newly commissioned contributions spanning topics from the human genome to grammatical tenses, this collection demonstrates literature's enduring power to encode temporal experience. The essays traverse centuries and genres, from eleventh-century France to speculative fiction futures, examining the intricate relationship between narrative, language, and temporality. Published by Routledge, this collection from the English Institute offers critical perspectives on how literary forms shape perception and meaning across historical periods and contemporary contexts.
