What does it mean to write a history of the night? Evening's Empire
is a fascinating study of the myriad ways in which early modern
people understood, experienced, and transformed the night. Using
diaries, letters, and legal records together with representations
of the night in early modern religion, literature and art, Craig
Koslofsky opens up an entirely new perspective on early modern
Europe. He shows how princes, courtiers, burghers and common people
'nocturnalized' political expression, the public sphere and the use
of daily time. Fear of the night was now mingled with improved
opportunities for labour and leisure: the modern night was
beginning to assume its characteristic shape. Evening's Empire
takes the evocative history of the night into early modern
politics, culture and society, revealing its importance to key
themes from witchcraft, piety, and gender to colonization, race,
and the Enlightenment.
