my Q is that how we can locate time adverb in the sentence > that is, in this case how we could undrestand whether this sentence talks abt 'work of writer during the late 19th century' OR 'reflect historical assessment of the late 19th century black american?'
Also, could someone explain in general how we can find the location of time adverb in the sentence withount affecting the intended meaning?
