The Low Countries were at the heart of innovation in Europe in the
fifteenth century. Throughout this period, the flourishing cultures
of the Low Countries were also wrestling with time itself. The
Fullness of Time explores that struggle, and the changing
conceptions of temporality that it represented and embodied showing
how they continue to influence historical narratives about the
emergence of modernity today. The Fullness of Time asks how the
passage of time in the Low Countries was ordered by the rhythms of
human action, from the musical life of a cathedral to the
measurement of time by clocks and calendars, the work habits of a
guildsman to the devotional practices of the laity and religious
orders. Through a series of transdisciplinary case studies, it
explores the multiple ways that objects, texts and music might
themselves be said to engage with, imply, and unsettle time,
shaping and forming the lives of the inhabitants of the
fifteenth-century Low Countries. Champion reframes the ways
historians have traditionally told the history of time, allowing us
for the first time to understand the rich and varied interplay of
temporalities in the period.
