Synopsis

This volume, entitled 'Of what is past, or passing, or to come: Travelling in Time and Space in Literature in English 'was inspired by the work of the writer, culture historian and mythographer Marina Warner and the professor of com parative literature Cathy Caruth. The lines quoted above are from W.B. Yeats' 'Sailing to Byzantium', which are recalled by one of the characters in Marina Warner's novel 'In a Dark Wood '(1977). The articles included in this volume are devoted to the explorations of individual space and landscape of the mind through analyzing trauma and addressing psychological wounds, and to travels into fairy tales, oriental scenery real and imaginary as well as interrelationships between memory and fiction in non-fictional and fictional discourses.
