About: At a moment when Google seeks "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful," this book tells the story of long-term aspirations, first in ancient epic and then in a wide range of literary and non-literary works from the early modern era and British Enlightenment, to comprehend, record, and disseminate complete knowledge of the world.
