Description: '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 readings of important authors such as Leland, Stow, Spenser Camden, Drayton, and Selden.
