“This volume of essays covers a great deal of ground. It also does so masterfully.  … Its coverage, from the end of the 19th century to the 1930s, proves crucial to revealing the many factors that go into the making of a chronotope, not only within a work of literature but also within an era. As a result, the volume contains much of interest to anyone invested in the study of time.” (Stephanie Nelson, Kronoscope, Issue 22, 2022)
