Teresa Prudente

A Specially Tender Piece of Eternity

Virginia Woolf and the Experience of Time

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A Specially Tender Piece of Eternity considers and redefines Virginia Woolf's treatment of time. By focusing on the key ideas of moments of being, ecstasy and rapture the book argues the close relation between Woolf's experiments in narrative and her concern to challenge ineffability in portraying the experience of a-linear time.
