ELECTRIC COMPANY: The first serious study of electricity and magnetism was conducted in 1600 by the English scientist William Gilbert. Read a book set in 17th century (1600-1699).

I'll be interested to see what you come up with. I tried An Instance of the Fingerpost but gave up after 30 pages - partly because it is such a long book and I had others due back to the library, I ended up reading Shinju. I found it hard to find many set in that period.
