Abstract
The contribution which literature has to make to phenomenology is obvious. The topics of literature always involve the varieties of human emotional experience. The evocativeness of the descriptions which literature provides compose the aesthetic judgment which defines literature and distinguish it from those varieties of writing which do not continuously feed, inspire, inform, and civilize the reader. We read literature to taste more deeply our humanity. The problem for the phenomenological philosopher concerns reciprocity. Can phenomenology make any contribution to the efforts of literature with perhaps a contribution to literary theory? The phenomenologist cannot properly respond to that question. Nevertheless, in a spirit of gratitude for the many gifts of literature, this paper attempts an analysis of the senses of time employed in allegories in the hopes that such analysis may be of some use to literary theory.
