By examining the history of universal history from the late Middle
Ages until the early nineteenth century we trace the making of the
global. Early modern universal history can be seen as a response to
the epistemological crisis provoked by new knowledge and
experience. Traditional narratives were no longer sufficient to
gain an understanding of events. Inspired by recent developments in
theory of history, the volume argues that the relevance of
universal history resides in the laboratory of intense, diverse and
mainly unsuccessful attempts at thinking history and universals
together. They all shared the common aim of integrating all time
and space: assemble the world and keep it together.
