Huygens's extensive and rich diary provides us with information on the practice of diary writing, thus affording new insights into the history of autobiographical writing. The diary, which reflects the coming of a new time consciousness regulated by clocks and watches, served the author as a tool in charting the complex and ever changing microcosm of an early-modern princely court. Surprisingly, courts were a fertile breeding ground for diary writing and autobiographical writing in general. Huygens's diary contributes much to our knowledge of both the history of autobiographic writing and of society and culture in Holland and England in the second half of the seventeenth century.</td> </tr> </table> </div> <h2 class="style02">Related organisations</h2> <div class="meta-info"> <table class="size02"> <tr> <th>Secretariat</th> <td><a href="/web/20110807064919/http://www.narcis.nl/organisation/RecordID/ORG1236438/Language/en">Department of Societal History (EUR)</a></td> </tr> <tr> <th>Financier</th> <td><a href="/web/20110807064919/http://www.narcis.nl/organisation/RecordID/ORG1235107/Language/en">NWO Council for the Humanities (NWO)</a></td> </tr> </table> </div> <h2 class="style02">Related people</h2> <div class="meta-info"> <table class="size02"> <tr> <th>Project leader</th> <td><a href="/web/20110807064919/http://www.narcis.nl/person/RecordID/PRS1262274/Language/en">Dr. R.M.
