The early modern period used to be known as the Age of Discovery.
More recently, it has been troped as an age of invention. But was
the invention/discovery binary itself invented, or discovered? This
volume investigates the possibility that it was invented, through a
range of early modern knowledge practices, centered on the
emergence of modern natural science. From Bacon to Galileo, from
stagecraft to math, from martyrology to romance, contributors to
this interdisciplinary collection examine the period's generation
of discovery as an absolute and ostensibly neutral standard of
knowledge-production. They further investigate the hermeneutic
implications for the epistemological authority that tends, in
modernity, still to be based on that standard. The Invention of
Discovery, 1500-1700 is a set of attempts to think back behind
discovery, considered as a decisive trope for modern knowledge.
