Abstract | The Reformation and Renaissance are often positioned as ushering in new attitudes to matter and to time, attitudes tied to narratives of increasing historical horizons and theories of disenchantment. By placing medieval historians in dialogue with early modernists, this panel asks: is there something about relations between matter and time which marks off the medieval from the early modern? Or are our answers to this question another way of making the medieval (not) matter? |
