This volume, entitled Of what is past, or passing, or to come: Travelling in Time and Space in Literature in English was inspired by the work of the writer, culture historian and mythographer Marina Warner and the professor of comparative literature Cathy Caruth. The lines quoted above are from W.B. Yeats Sailing to Byzantium, which are recalled by one of the characters in Marina Warners novel In a Dark Wood (1977). The articles included in this volume are devoted to the explorations of individual space and landscape of the mind through analyzing trauma and addressing psychological wounds, and to travels into fairy tales, oriental scenery real and imaginary as well as interrelationships between memory and fiction in non-fictional and fictional discourses.
Liliana Sikorska, professor of English, head of the Department of English Literature and Literary Linguistics at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Pozna (Poland); head of the Department of English Literature and Culture of English Speaking Countries at the University of Social Sciences in Warsaw (Poland); 2010 Fulbright Professor at the Cornell University in New York (USA); author and co-author of numerous books on medieval English and Irish literature as well as postcolonial literatures in English.
