Abstract
This dissertation is the result of a project, grounded in the consideration of
‘time’ in the core courses of the ‘Literature and Modernity’ programme, into how the
narrator[s] of and characters in W.G Sebald’s documentary fiction experience time,
space, and distance as phenomena. It will deal with three of Sebald’s best-known
works: The Emigrants (1992) and The Rings of Saturn (1995) both in translation by
Michael Hulse, and Austerlitz (2001) in translation by Anthea Bell.
