The Connection and Interplay Between Literature, Culture, and Physics Around the Turn of the Twenitieth Century, Concentrating on American Culture (Excerpt)

My own research is at another beginning point. I've just finished a book, and I'm about to start work on another one. The new book will be the third in my series of studies of the science-oriented knowledge bases of American literature. It is pointed (at least provisionally) toward William Faulkner, and it will draw together two basic research strands: one of theories of time, and the other of interrelated theories from the fields of anthropology, mythology, and depth psychology that flourished in the early twentieth century. The student's research would certainly benefit my project in collecting bibliography, pre-reading and reviewing sources, and developing connections between writers and scientific concepts on the subject of time-theory.
