David Houston Wood

Time, Narrative, and Emotion in Early Modern England (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Exploiting a link between early modern concepts of the medical and the literary, David Wood examines the ways that depictions of time expressed in early modern medical texts reveal themselves in contemporary literary works, demonstrating that the early modern recognition of the self as a palpably volatile entity facilitated the realistic portrayal of literary characters and served as a structuring principle for narrative experimentation.
