- Description
- Reconstructs "medieval people's experience of time as continuous, discontinuous, linear, and cyclical--from creation through judgment and into eternity," clarifying concepts of aging, eternity, planetary motion, time-keeping, apocalypse, etc., evinced in material objects, philosophy, art, and literature. Includes recurrent mention of Chaucer's works, commenting on varieties of time-reckoning in CT and assessing time as a theme and narrative device in TC.
