ISBN: 0415939607 ISBN-13: 9780415939607 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $161.50 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: June 2002 Annotation: The immediacy of information technology has supposedly annihilated time and the literary. Email, cell phones, satellite broadcasting seem to have ended the long-standing tradition of encoding our experience of time through writing. Paul de Man's seminal essay "Literary History and Literary Modernity" and newly commissioned essays on everything from the human genome to grammatical tenses argue, however, that the literary constantly reconstructs our understanding of time. From eleventh-century France or a science-fiction future, "Time and the" "Literary" shows how these two concepts have been and will continue to influence each other. |
