Through brilliant readings of Samuel Pepy´s diary, Joseph Addison and Richard Steele´s daily Spectator, the travel writings of Samuel Johnson and James Boswell, and the novels of Daniel Defoe and Frances Burney, Sherman traces the development of a new way of counting time in prose -the diurnal structure of consecutively dated installments- within the cultural context of the daily institutions that gave it form and motion.
