In From Eternity to Time: Conceptions of Time in Daniel Defoe’s Novels, Aino Mäkikalli embarks on a profound exploration of how time is represented and conceptualized in the works of one of the early modern period’s most influential novelists, Daniel Defoe. This study navigates the complex relationship between temporal understanding and narrative form in Defoe’s novels, investigating how notions of eternity, linear time, and historical temporality intersect within his storytelling. Mäkikalli’s analysis reveals the ways in which Defoe’s novels reflect and respond to the shifting philosophical, religious, and cultural attitudes towards time in the early eighteenth century. By situating Defoe’s temporal conceptions within broader intellectual debates of the period, this work offers a fresh perspective on his literary contributions and sheds light on the foundational role that time plays in the construction of narrative identity and experience. Ultimately, this book contributes to both Defoe scholarship and the study of time in literature by uncovering the layered and dynamic ways in which temporality shapes meaning in Defoe’s enduring works.
