"Of What is Past, or Passing, or to Come" : Travelling in Time and Space in Literature in English (Studies in Literature in English .5) (2014. 218 S. 210 mm)

This volume, entitled Of what is past, or passing, or to come: Travelling in Time and Space in Literature in English was inspired by the work of the writer, culture historian and mythographer Marina Warner and the professor of comparative literature Cathy Caruth. The lines quoted above are from W.B. Yeats' Sailing to Byzantium, which are recalled by one of the characters in Marina Warner's novel In a Dark Wood (1977). The articles included in this volume are devoted to the explorations of individual space and landscape of the mind through analyzing trauma and addressing psychological wounds, and to travels into fairy tales, oriental scenery real and imaginary as well as interrelationships between memory and fiction in non-fictional and fictional discourses.
