| مستخلص: |
W. M. Thackeray's Vanity Fair can be read as a competition between two conflicting attitudes toward time: one of distraction and spontaneity, the other of attentiveness and patience. For Thackeray, who struggled with the exacting schedules of serialization, this competition reflects a larger ideological tension between nineteenth-century England's increasingly time-bound culture and earlier notions of temporality prior to the introduction of standardized time. Instead of coming down on one side or the other, however, Thackeray portrays the risks and rewards of each, using narrative techniques that ultimately insist on the importance of preserving temporal variety.
