New Science, New World by Denise Albanese
Examines the discursive interconnections between two practices that emerged in the seventeenth century-modern science and colonialism. This work explores how the newness or 'novelty' of investigating nature is expressed through representations of the New World, including the native, the feminine, the body, and the heavens.
“New Science, New World breaks new ground in connecting literary form to the advent of modernity as manifested in scientific discourse and colonial explorationThis phenomenally learned book is a real intervention in early modern cultural studies.”—Dympna Callaghan, Syracuse University
“New Science, New World is a sophisticated account concerning the contradictory pressures at work in the production of modernity. The story of the relations between the scientific and the literary is an original one, and it is told with an elegance that is consistently persuasive.”—Catherine Belsey, Centre for Critical and Cultural Theory, University of Wales, Cardiff
