London's theatre district is quite literally built on the past. Although the book celebrates this, and the artistic achievements that still resonate today, it also emphasises that theatre is an art form that can only survive and flourish through fresh talent, new work and constant reinterpretation of old classics. .

A Postmodern Politics of Time? --$tNotes --$tBibliography --$tIndex 330 $aCombining original historical research with literary analysis, Adam Barrows takes a provocative look at the creation of world standard time in 1884 and rethinks the significance of this remarkable moment in modernism for both the processes of imperialism and for modern literature. As representatives from twenty-four nations argued over adopting the Prime Meridian, and thereby measuring time in relation to Greenwich, England, writers began experimenting with new ways of representing human temporality. Barrows finds this experimentation in works as varied as Victorian adventure novels, high modernist texts, and South Asian novels-including the work of James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, H. Rider Haggard, Bram Stoker, Rudyard Kipling, and Joseph Conrad. Demonstrating the investment of modernist writing in the problems of geopolitics and in the public discourse of time, Barrows argues that it is possible, and productive, to rethink the politics of modernism through the politics of time. 410 0$aFlashpoints (Berkeley, Calif.) ;$v3. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zEnglish-speaking countries 606 $aTime in literature 606 $aTime$xPolitical aspects 606 $aTime$xSystems and standards 610 $a1884. 610 $aadventure novels. 610 $abackward arrow. 610 $abram stoker. 610 $acosmopolitan clock. 610 $aempire. 610 $ageopolitics. 610 $aglobe. 610 $agreenwich. 610 $ah rider haggard. 610 $ahigh modernism. 610 $ahuman temporality. 610 $aimperialism. 610 $aindia. 610 $aindian literature. 610 $ajames joyce. 610 $ajoseph conrad. 610 $aliterary criticism. 610 $amodern literature. 610 $amodernism. 610 $amodernist. 610 $amodernity. 610 $anature of time. 610 $anegri. 610 $apolitics. 610 $aprime meridian. 610 $arudyard kipling. 610 $ascience. 610 $asemiotics theory. 610 $asouth asian novels. 610 $astandard time. 610 $atemporality. 610 $atime. 610 $avictorian culture. 610 $avictorian literature. 610 $avirginia woolf. 610 $aworld standard time. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aTime in literature. 615 0$aTime$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aTime$xSystems and standards. 676 $a823/.80933 700 $aBarrows$b Adam$01054407 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785411203321 996 $aThe cosmic time of empire$93750558 997 $aUNINA
