  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 original readings of important authors such as Leland, Stow, Spenser, Camden, Drayton, and Selden.
