Focusing on the nature, consequences, and resolution of resistance to temporal passage, Eric P. Levy offers detailed and probing close readings, enriched by thorough yet engaging explication and application of prominent philosophical theories of time. Philosophy is here employed not as a rigid model to which literature is forced to conform, but instead as a lens through which elements crucial to the literary texts can be isolated and clarified, even as they concern ideas different from those expounded in philosophy. The literary texts treated include \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHard Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMrs Dalloway\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTo the Lighthouse\u003c\/i\u003e, a wide range of Beckettian works, and \u003ci\u003eEnduring Love - \u003c\/i\u003etexts\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003edistinguished by their challenging, relentless, original, and dramatic depiction of the struggle with temporality. The philosophies of time covered include those of Aristotle, Kant, Bergson, John McTaggart, C.D. Broad, Edmund Husserl and Gilles Deleuze.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric P.
