How does Revolving Lights develop the theme of Time and Memory?

Revolving Lights by Dorothy M. Richardson develops Time and Memory across the chapters the companion marks for this theme.

Miriam reflects on the past, such as her school days with the Specks, and how memory shapes her present. The narrative moves between moments of intense presence and nostalgic recollection, suggesting that time is not linear but layered, and that the past continues to influence the self.

The reappearance of Eleanor Dear brings the past into the present, forcing Miriam to confront a previous life and the choices that shaped her.
