Time patterns in Later Dickens
This study offers a series of readings of Dickens's later novels: Bleak House, Hard Times, Little Dorrit, A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations, and Our Mutual Friend. The discussions of the novels assume the basic distinction between the arrangement of events in their chronological order (story) and their arrangement in the narrative (plot), and are based on Genette's classifications of the various types of anachronies as well as on the more functionally oriented categories of anachronies I myself suggest. The temporal organization of the narratives, in upsetting the sequential order of events in specific ways, invites reflection on the very nature of the notion of causality, which, in turn, is related to two interconnected ideas: that truth is not always to be found by logical reasoning and that appearances do not necessarily convey the truth. Closely related to these ideas is a Christian attitude towards time: both linear and circular forms of time are subsumed and at the same time re-formulated within a Christian vision of time, informed by the basic human feelings of love and compassion.
Theme Parks, Rainforests and Sprouting Wastelands

Victorian Hauntings
Victorian Hauntings asks its reader to consider the following questions: What does it mean to read or write with ghosts, or to suggest that acts of reading or writing are haunted? In what ways can authors in the nineteenth century be read so as to acknowledge the various phantom effects which return within their texts? In what ways do the traces of such "ghost writing" surface in the works of Dickens, Tennyson, Eliot and Hardy? How does the work of spectrality, revenance and the uncanny transform materially both the forms of the literary in the Victorian era and our reception of it today? Beginning with an expoloration of matters of haunting, the uncanny, the gothic and the spectral, Julian ...
A Structural Analysis of The Honorary Consul by Graham Greene
Is Graham Greene really the great novelist we think he is? ... In what way did he succeed in keeping his readership spellbound? ... What was the driving force behind his so-called 'Catholicism''... Was there a special reason for him to call The Honorary Consulhis favourite book'... Why is 'clock time' such a matter of great concern to those who otherwise believe the book to be his greatest'... And is there any reason for calling his characters 'empty' or 'full' - and anything in between - instead of just defining them flat or round'... The answers to these and many other intriguing questions are to be found in this captivating analysis of The Honorary Consulby Rudolf E. van Dalm. Instead of being only a study on Graham Greene, it has turned out to be a fascinating report on what makes Greene such an absorbing writer. One of the most gripping publications on the famous British author on the eve of the millennium, the book is both entertaining and instructive.

Anaphores temporelles et (in-)cohérence
Ce premier volume de Cahiers Chronos réunit onze articles qui s'intéressent à la cohérence ou l'incohérence) temporelle du texte. L'analyse se fait par l'intermédiaire de la comparaison avec le domaine nominal. Depuis plus de vingt ans, les termes déictique et anaphorique, issus du domaine de la référence nominale, s'emploient dans l'étude du temps. Ce recueil propose des évaluations critiques de cette analyse situées dans les cadres théoriques divers, allant du modèle guillaumien (M. Wilmet) via la grammaire générative (J. Guéron) à la théorie de la représentation du discours de H. Kamp (C. Vet). Comme on pouvait s'y attendre, l'analyse de la valeur des temps (du passé) — en français (A. Molendijk; L. Tasmowski-De Ryck & C. Vetters; S. Vogeleer), en anglais (I. Depraetere) et en néerlandais (T. Janssen) — occupe une place importante dans ce recueil. Mais d'autres études apportent des analyses intéressantes dans d'autres domaines: les connecteurs (T. Virtanen), les caractéristiques aspecto-temporelles des noms référant à des événements (D. Godard & J. Jayez) ou la valeur référentielle du verbe changer (M. Charolles).
