Since the monastic era in the West, the organisation by hours has become so ubiquitous that it has come almost to seem uncaused, a fact of nature. This title looks at its strangeness and richness, from the structure of the working day to the imposition of curfews, and from the scheduling of public events to the content of etiquette.
