In 17th c. A. the basis factors of this new consciousness were already in full operation -- the fascination with sea and ocean, the defiance of any court style, the global expansionism, and the preference of character over heroism, of virtue over sainthood and of domesticity over grandeur.' The narrative is organized around pivotal dates such as 1578, 1603, 1617, 1637, 1642, 1650, 1697.
