Ariadna García-Bryce

Experiencing Time in the Early Modern Hispanic World (eBook, PDF)

After Apocalypse

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book considers the new ways time was experienced in the 16th- and 17th-century Hispanic world in the framework of global Catholicism. It examines how authors adapt Christ-centered conceptions of existence to accommodate both a volatile post-eschatological world and the increased dominance of mechanical clock time.
