Publisher's Synopsis
""The Presentation of Time in the Elizabethan Drama"" by Mable Buland is an in-depth analysis of how time is represented in the plays of the Elizabethan era. The book explores the various ways in which time is used as a literary device in these plays, including the manipulation of time through flashbacks, foreshadowing, and the use of historical events. The author also examines how the concept of time is linked to the themes of the plays, such as the inevitability of death and the fleeting nature of youth. Through a close reading of key texts, Buland offers a nuanced understanding of the role of time in Elizabethan drama and its significance in shaping the literary tradition of the time.
