With the latest development version in git you can type 'R' in the
agenda and it displays a clock table with total time spent on everything
you clocked for the period you're looking at.

You can also use C-c C-x C-r to insert a clock report into your org file
and specify the timeperiod to display.

I have a todo.org which I put an agenda clock report just for today (but
R in the agenda does that for me now too! :) and all my other org files
have monthly reports.  You can move the period with S-left and S-right
on the #BEGIN: clocktable line

I don't know of a way to get the start times other than looking in the
agenda - but the daily agenda with 'R' and 'l' shows the clock times so
you can see the start times for each and the total time spent at the
bottom.

There's lots of information in the documentation about clock reports.

Hope that helps,
