Once a new, exciting, and frightening concept, \"the world\" was transformed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. But how could one envision something that no one had ever seen in its totality? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Worldmakers\u003c\/i\u003e moves beyond histories of globalization to explore how \"the world\" itself-variously understood as an object of inquiry, a comprehensive category, and a system of order-was self-consciously shaped by human agents. Gathering an international cast of characters, from Dutch cartographers and French philosophers to Portuguese and English poets, Ramachandran describes a history of firsts: the first world atlas, the first global epic, the first modern attempt to develop a systematic natural philosophy-all part of an effort by early modern thinkers to capture \"the world\" on the page.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAyesha Ramachandran\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of comparative literature at Yale University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 28, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45264570450022,"sku":"9780226598871","price":63.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/L3hxWGZ2Y0hxKzFxQ25VMFpaL0Qydz09.webp?v=1773892223","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-worldmakers-global-imagining-in-early-modern-europe-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
