Reading Time tells the story of the long poem in the long
eighteenth century as it navigated between narrative and
description, progress and digression, and time and space. The long
poem emerged, between 1660 and 1850, as a medium in which poets
could shape and reshape time. Analysing Milton's Paradise Lost,
Thomson's The Seasons and Wordsworth's The Prelude, this study
reveals how these poets used both the content and form of their
long poems to intervene in contemporary debates about the
temporalities of free will, nature and identity. Reading Time
argues that they use the figure of the prospect, the extended
landscape, to imagine time as a space onto which different causal
configurations could be mapped. In turn, readers have approached
these poems as both temporal and spatial forms, as linear processes
and as static structures, demonstrating how the long poem can shape
a reader's own experience of time.
