This is the first full-length biography of British historian
Frances Yates, author of such acclaimed works as Giordano Bruno and
The Hermetic Tradition and The Art of Memory. Jones's book explores
Yates' remarkable life and career and her interest in the
mysterious figure of Giordano Bruno and the influence of the
Hermetic tradition on the culture of the Renaissance. Her
revolutionary way of viewing history, literature, art, and the
theater as integral parts of the cultural picture of the time
period did much to shape modern interdisciplinary approaches to
history and literary criticism. Jones focuses not only on the
particulars of Yates' life, but also sheds light on the tradition
of female historians of her time and their contributions to
Renaissance scholarship. In addition to her insightful commentary
on Yates' academic work, Jones quotes from Frances' diaries and the
writings of those who were close to her, to shed light on Yates'
private life.
