Stretching back to antiquity, motion had been a key means of
designing and describing the physical environment. But during the
sixteenth through eighteenth centuries, individuals across Europe
increasingly designed, experienced, and described a new world of
motion: one characterized by continuous, rather than segmented,
movement. New spaces that included vistas along house interiors and
uninterrupted library reading rooms offered open expanses for
shaping sequences of social behaviour, scientists observed how the
Earth rotated around the sun, and philosophers attributed emotions
to neural vibrations in the human brain. Early Modern Spaces in
Motion examines this increased emphasis on motion with eight essays
encompassing a geographical span of Portugal to German-speaking
lands and a disciplinary range from architectural history to
English. It consequently merges longstanding strands of analysis
considering people in motion and buildings in motion to explore the
cultural historical attitudes underpinning the varied impacts of
motion in early modern Europe.
