These challenges  were not uniform in character. The volume will demonstrate that  literature of the era under scrutiny was not simply reacting to new  theories of time—in some cases it is actually inspiring and anticipating  them. Thus \u003ci\u003eLiterature and Modern Time\u003c\/i\u003e promises to offer a  genuine dialogue between literature and time theory and in doing so will  uncover and examine influences and connections— sometimes  unexpected—between philosophers and writers of the era. It will examine  literary attempts to transcend and escape time and also challenge  rupture-based accounts of modernist time by demonstrating that literary  texts commonly associated with brokenness, decline or stasis, also, at  the same time, maintain faith in healing, renewal and mobility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis collection contains interdisciplinary research of the quite highest kind - to see so many different kinds of time - narrative, historical, mechanical, subjective, non-linear time, myth and nostalgia - as well as time\/space discussed here is very stimulating indeed.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProfessor Simon James\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-08-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030292805\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-29278-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 282\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47527624835212,"sku":"9783030292805","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030292805.jpg?v=1776040116","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030292805","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
