1. 1. At Day's Close

   Night in Times Past

   

   A wide-ranging cultural and social history of the night that uses diaries, court records, literature, and other sources to show how preindustrial people lived, worked, worshipped, socialized and slept after dark—documenting nocturnal markets, taverns, crafts, watchmen, curfews and the once-common pattern of segmented sleep—and then traces how artificial lighting, industrialization, policing and changing attitudes gradually eradicated distinct nocturnal cultures, altering patterns of sleep, public behavior, crime, health and the human experience of time.
