There is much ... to commend in this book, and the readings of individual texts would be of interest to anyone studying or writing on them specifically, or on the literary application of theories of time. * Forum for Modern Language Studies *


A masterful work of scholarship, with its painstaking attention to detail and its close reading of texts. Unlike many works of literary criticism, Levy's book does not rely on vague abstractions or generalities. He guides the reader step by step through each author's reasoning ... to analyze the consciousness of time. I was captivated by this tour de force ... Levy's book stands on its own as a work of insightful literary criticism. It constitutes a substantial contribution to literature. It will be of help to students and professors alike. Overall, it is a clear piece of writing, well argued, systematic, and compelling. * Literature & Aesthetics * An ambitious book - and along the way are insights worth reflecting on and debating. * University of Toronto Quarterly * There is much ... to commend in this book, and the readings of individual texts would be of interest to anyone studying or writing on them specifically, or on the literary application of theories of time. * Forum for Modern Language Studies *
