Dramatizing Time In Twentieth-Century Fiction (Routledge Studies In Twentieth-Century Literature)

Offering close readings of both modernist and non-modernist writers, the author shares and unifies the belief, as set forth by the distinguished philosopher Paul Ricoeur, that narratives rather than philosophy best help us understand time. This book explores the various responses of artistic imaginations to the mysteries of time and the needs of temporal organization in modern fiction. It is therefore an important reference for anyone with an interest in twentieth-century literature and the representation of time.
