\THE SHORTCOMINGS OF TIMETABLES\: GREENWICH, MODERNISM, AND THE LIMITS OF MODERNITY

Overview
The 1884 Prime Meridian Conference was a signal moment in the history of modernity, establishing a seamless space-time map and rendering the Greenwich Royal Observatory an international symbol of British imperial power. In this essay, I consider the representation of Greenwich Time at key moments in three canonical modernist texts: Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent , James Joyce’s Ulysses , and Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway .
