Description

This volume is the first to investigate temporalities, their manifestations, passages, and negotiations in and of (lived and imagined) crises-situations. Focusing on the affordances of form, the volume explores the role of literature in responding to temporalities in and of crises. Gathering essays by both renowned and upcoming literary scholars and offering a wide range of different methodological approaches, which connect to recent advancements in ecocriticism, postcolonialism, and queer studies, it will inform and inspire future studies in the field, both within but also beyond Anglophone literary studies. Considering that the current pandemic and ecological crises have profoundly changed (and continue to change) concepts of time, this volume will remain highly relevant and topical beyond the backdrop of COVID-19.
