Experiencing Time in the Early Modern Hispanic World: After Apocalypse - Paperback

by Ariadna García-Bryce (Author)

This book considers the new ways time was experienced in the 16^th- and 17^th-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.
