Time, Literature and Cartography after the Spatial Turn argues that the spatial turn in literary studies has the unexplored potential to reinvigorate the ways in which we understand time in literature.
Adam Barrows is Associate Professor in the Department of English and Director of the Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies at Carleton University, Canada. He is the author of The Cosmic Time of Empire and a recipient of the Modern Fiction Studies Margaret Church Memorial Prize.

“This is a thoroughly remarkable book. … Barrows’s approach clearly demonstrates that geo-criticism, combined with textual analysis that is spatial, is up to the task of making apparent complex spatial and temporal configurations in literary narratives.” (Heike Polster,Kronoscope, Issue 20, 2020)
