Time Is of the Essence

The book explores the complex interplay between time and gender in the works of five late 19th-century British authors: Thomas Hardy, Olive Schreiner, H. Rider Haggard, Sarah Grand, and Mona Caird. It delves into how these writers portray the evolving social roles of women and the impact of temporal themes on their narratives, offering insights into the cultural context of the fin-de-siècle period.
