Abstract

Time and space are major themes in Winterson’s novels. My goal in this paper is to focus on the way these concepts are analysed from the perspective of two of her novels, The Passion and Written on the Body. Winterson succeeds in creating and conferring new values on these concepts in her novels, thus allowing them a different interpretation.
