At the age of eighty-four, Thomas Hobbes (1588 1679) wrote an
autobiography in Latin elegaics. Unsurprisingly, it was not as
widely read as his two great philosophical works, Leviathan and
Behemoth, in which he laid out a set of sociopolitical theories
that enraged many of the philosophers and moralists of Europe. In
this comprehensive biography, first published in 1904, Sir Leslie
Stephen (1832 1904) charts the character and changes of Hobbes'
thinking, from the scholasticism of his early Oxford education, to
his later devotion to geometry and deductive science. With an
emphasis on personal influences, Stephen sets Hobbes and his work
in the historical context of Hobbes' often difficult patrons, the
Civil War, and the Restoration, providing an insight into the life
of the eminent philosopher and into the tenets of early
twentieth-century biographical writing. An interesting text for
students of both philosophy and English literature.
