REFLECTIONS ON TIME
REFLECTIONS ON TIME

Summary/Abstract: The present paper focuses on the idea of time as it is reflected in certain landmarks of literature along the centuries, subjectively selected. Chronological evolution of the actions in novels show that time was first perceived as linear, sequential, dependable. Gradually, literature mirrors the changes in society and the changed notions of time, accelerated or, on the contrary, frozen for a while. Many key moments in literature are linked to time, to timing and to characters’ relationship to it.
