Description

This session explores the representation, effects, and contexts of non-linear or atemporal time in medieval literature. The papers presented are particularly interested in the way that time fragments and reconstructs narrative in literature of the North Atlantic, England, and France, spanning from the 10th to the 14th centuries.
