They create and communicate its meanings through dramatizations in language and the reconfiguration of temporal experience. 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 philosophy of time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Vesterman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138015717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138015715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"William Vesterman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087686381823,"sku":"9781138015715","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7a52c6b-4059-4bd6-b083-9d5eb7b03fd3.jpg?v=1769100835","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dramatizing-time-in-twentieth-century-fiction-william-vesterman-9781138015715","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
