In Defiance of Time: Antiquarian Writing in Early Modern England
Vine, Angus (Lecturer in Early Modern Literature, University of Sussex)
In Defiance of Time contends that the antiquarian project, integral to early modern literary and intellectual culture, depended on the antiquaries' capacity to restore - in their imagination at least - the fragments of the past. It offers original readings of important authors such as Leland, Stow, Spenser, Camden, Drayton, and Selden.
