Modernist writers reacted to standardized public time with pluralized private time

Evidence

James Joyce, for one, begîn hIS quest to capture the sense of simultaneity in space and time dunng tpis period, insisting upon the present as the only real location of expenence. He had his action take place in a plurality of spaces, Kern (p. 149) notes, ‘in a consciousness that leaps about the universe and mixes here and there in defiance of the ordered diagramming of the cartographers.’ Proust, for his part, tried to recover past time and to create.a sense of individuality aƻd place that rested on a conception of expenence across a space of time. Personal conceptions of time became a matter of public commentary. — David Harvey, The Condition of Postmodernity, 1691
