Description
The Early Modern English Calendar demystifies the multiple, often conflicting time schemes that governed the reckoning of the year in sixteenth and seventeenth century England. Through introductory essays and an easily navigated month/day calendar, the book clarifies the various calendrical schemes that governed early modern time, describes how time was literally reckoned by almanacs, prayer books, clocks and scientific instruments, and provides insight into the cultural and iconographical meaning of seasons, months, weeks, and days in the early modern calendar year.
