| Abstract | Time affects all aspects of life. So too does time influence all forms of writing. This session seeks to explore a broad chronological range of texts from medieval England to question how time was used and what these uses can illustrate about medieval writing practises and thought about time. Further, we will consider the importance of critically reflecting on concepts of time within medieval texts. Subjects of discussion will include Bede and chronology and temporality in the works of William of Malmesbury. |
