Barbara J. Shapiro traces the surprising genesis of the fact, a modern concept that, she convincingly demonstrates, originated not in natural science but in legal discourse. She follows the concept's evolution and diffusion across a variety of areas in early modern England, examining how the emerging "culture of fact" shaped the epistemological assumptions of each intellectual enterprise.
