The Venetian Discovery of America: Geographic Imagination and Print Culture in the Age of Encounters
Horodowich, Elizabeth (New Mexico State University)
As the print capital of early modern Europe, Venice developed a unique relationship to the Americas. Horodowich demonstrates how with their printed texts and maps, Venetian newsmongers embraced a fertile tension between the distant and the close. In doing so, they played a crucial yet heretofore unrecognized role in the invention of America.
