The Fourth Dimension: Time in the Modernist Novel examines the complex intertwining of temporality and narrative in novels between 1910 and 1930. This project revises the critical parameters of the early twentieth-century novel along two fronts. On the one front, this dissertation challenges the customary understanding of the modernist novel as a genre that chiefly involves strategies of inwardness. Instead of mere depictions of subjectivity and alienation, modernist novels are distinguished through an intricate choreography of form and narrative. On the other front, this dissertation highlights the innovation of the modernist novel's treatment of time. Previous scholarship traces the effects of social and cultural acceleration upon modernity, identifying the evolving conception of time in the intellectual theories of such figures as Henri Bergson, Albert Einstein, Walter Benjamin and Martin Heidegger. Yet this scholarship too often assumes that the modernist novel simply reflects the changes in the surrounding cultural milieu. By systematically examining the temporal principles that pervade the style and structure of Der Zauberberg, Der Prozess, To the Lighthouse and As I Lay Dying, this dissertation establishes the modernist novel as a genre that treats time in a new and unique manner. In addition to thematizing temporality, prose fiction of the early twentieth century enacts idiosyncratic conceptions of time without mediation. The texts of Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka, Virginia Woolf and William Faulkner disrupt inherited aesthetic conventions of duration, development, continuity and linearity. In practice, modernist novels prolong the ephemeral, immobilize the unfolding, rupture the fluid, and resist the unidirectional.
