In the centuries since his death, Francis Bacon has been perceived
as a promoter and prophet of 'natural science'. Certainly Bacon
expected to fill the vacuum which he saw existing in the study of
nature; but he also saw himself as a clarifier and promoter of what
he called 'policy', that is, the study and improvement of the
structure and function of civil states including the then new
British state. In this major study, Brian Wormald's first since his
work on Clarendon, Bacon is shown resolving this conflict by
attending assiduously to both fields, arguing that work on one
would help progress in the other. In his teaching, in his practice
and in terms of what was actually achieved, the junction between
the two enterprises was affected by Bacon's work in history - civil
and natural. In this fundamental reappraisal of one of the most
complex and innovative figures of the age, Brian Wormald reveals
how Bacon's conception and practice of history provided an answer
to his strivings in both policy and natural philosophy.
