vls/2603nrwcece.visuallibrary.netvdTime, tense, and American literaturewhen is now?Weinstein, CindyauttextbookNew York, NYCambridge Univ. Press2015monographicengXII, 181 S."In Time and American Literature, Cindy Weinstein examines canonical American authors who employ a range of tenses to tell a story that has already taken place. This book argues that key texts in the archive of American literature are inconsistent in their retrospective status, ricocheting between past, present, and future. Taking "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym" as her point of departure, Weinstein shows how Poe's way of representing time involves careening tenses, missing chronometers, and inoperable watches, thus establishing a vocabulary of time that is further articulated in works by Crane, Hawthorne, Melville, and Dreiser. Each chapter examines the often strange narrative fabric of these works and presents an opportunity to understand how especially complicated historical moments, from the founding of the new nation to the psychic consequences of the Civil War, find contextual expression through a literary uncertainty about time"--Cindy WeinsteinIncludes bibliographical references and indexHBZHT018701973978-1-107-09987-6HT018701973Cambridge studies in American literature and culture6101angm740.w42462015071720160425137723501rak https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3D137723501+X0001 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/621449 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/621449/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/621449
