Eternity's ennui : temporality, perseverance and voice in Augustine and Western literature /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

This book examines the nature of Augustinian time as the unfathomable yet permanent focus of the present. What are the implications for Augustine's confessional discourse? How to reconcile the brevity of time's focus with eternity's longueur and the rhetoric of digression?
