This minutely detailed examination of a supposedly small
grammatical detail, the use of the present tense, opens up new
perspectives on a founding myth of the aesthetics of modernity: the
longing for presence. This collection approaches the issue by
documenting how the present tense became dominant in the 20th
century novel. The authors draw on perspectives in fiction theory
and narratology to delineate facets of this fundamental shift in
literary aesthetics from the past tense to the present.
