<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><i>Time, Literature and Cartography after the Spatial Turn</i> argues that the spatial turn in literary studies has the unexplored potential to reinvigorate the ways in which we understand time in literature. Drawing on new readings of time in a range of literary narratives, including Vladimir Nabokov's <i>Ada </i>and James Joyce's <i>Finnegans Wake</i>, Adam Barrows explores literature's ability to cartographically represent the dense and tangled rhythmic processes that constitute lived spaces. Applying the insights of ecological resilience studies, as well as Henri Lefebvre's late work on rhythm to literary representations of time, this book offers a sustained examination of literature's "chronometric imaginary" its capacity to map the temporal relationships between the human and the non-human, the local and the global.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This is a thoroughly remarkable book. ... Barrows's approach clearly demonstrates that geo-criticism, combined with textual analysis that is spatial, is up to the task of making apparent complex spatial and temporal configurations in literary narratives." (Heike Polster, Kronoscope, Issue 20, 2020)</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Adam Barrows is Associate Professor in the Department of English and Director of the Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies at Carleton University, Canada. He is the author of <i>The Cosmic Time of Empire</i> and a recipient of the Modern Fiction Studies Margaret Church Memorial Prize.</p>
