During the early modern period, western Europe was transformed by the proliferation of geographic worlds found in the voyages of discovery and the conceptual and celestial worlds opened by science. Mary Baine Campbell analyzes a cross section of texts in which worlds were made and unmade. With over thirty well-chosen illustrations, Wonder and Science enhances our understanding of the culture of early modern Europe, the history of science, and the development of literary forms.
