Biography
Russell West-Pavlov is Professor of English at the University of Pretoria, South Africa.
‘There is nothing that really brings it [the critical material] all together in a student introduction though, and I think that is an important opportunity for Routledge.’ – Professor Mark Currie, Queen Mary, University of London, UK
‘I don’t know of a single book accessible to undergraduates on the topic.’ - Professor Kathleen Davis, University of Rhode Island, USA
‘As far as I know, there is no comparable book. Relevant books on the market are usually more specifically devoted to one of the various aspects of temporality pulled together here, and are either more specifically academic/theoretical or more clearly "general interest". Also, the chapters on "Gender" and "Postcolonialism" in relation to time make this book quite unique.’ - Dr Christof Schöch, University of Kassel, Germany
