by Ariadna García-Bryce (Author)
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.
