Abstract

This article proposes a reading of Paul Ricœur’s Time and Narrative II. This book, which focuses on the idea of the configuration of time in narrative in order to ensure continuity between the prefiguration of narrative and its refiguration and also seeks to understand the specificity of fictional narrative in relation to historical narrative, is a three-dimensional discourse: philosophy, theories of narrative and major works of literature. The text poses a number of theoretical problems that will be considered here in relation to literary theory through a critical reflection informed by a reading of Virginia Woolf’s novel Mrs Dalloway.
