Doctor, linguist, scientist, natural historian, and writer of what
is probably the most stunning prose in the English language, Sir
Thomas Browne was a virtuoso in learning whose many interests form
a representative portrait of his age. To understand the period
which we more usually refer to as the Civil War, the Restoration,
or the Scientific Revolution, we need to understand parts of the
intellectual and spiritual background that are often neglected and
which Browne magnificently figures forth.
This collection of essays about all aspects of Thomas Browne's
work and thought is the first such volume to appear in 25 years. It
offers the specialist and the student a wide-ranging array of
essays by an international team of leading scholars in
seventeenth-century literary studies who extend our understanding
of this extremely influential and representative early-modern
polymath by embracing recent developments in the field, including
literary-scientific relations, the development of Anglican
spirituality, civil networks of intellectual exchange, the rise of
antiquarianism, and Browne's own legacy in modern literature.
