What is The Triumph of Time : a Study of the Victorian Concepts of Time, History, Progress, and Decadence about?

During the nineteenth century, men became acutely aware of, and correspondingly articulate about, the passage of time and its power to create and destroy. This book has as its province the four levels of time--past, present, future, eternity--as they appear in nineteenth-century English literature. Although he looks back to Romantics and ahead to early Moderns, the author focuses his study on Victorian writers who strove to interpret the breathless pace of social, political, and economic change, the acceleration of technological invention, and the new scientific awareness of transmutation occurring over vast stretches of time
