Synopsis

This volume explores the theme of time in early modern France: time past, time present and time future, in literature and in life. Tragic drama in this period was haunted by the past, while in fiction there was a perennial fascination with an imagined future. At the same time, the awareness of mortality gave urgency to the right ordering of life.
