"The iniquity of oblivion blindly scatters her poppyseed and when
wretchedness falls upon us one summer's day like snow, all we wish
for is to be forgotten. These are the circles Browne's thought's
describe." -W.G. Sebald, author of The Rings of Saturn Sir Thomas
Browne is one of the supreme stylists of the English language: a
coiner of words and spinner of phrases of a near Shakespearean
fecundity; the wielder of a weird and wonderful erudition; an
inquiring spirit in the mold of Montaigne. Browne was an
inspiration to Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Thomas De Quincy, as
well as to W.G. Sebald, and his unique voice is both quirky and
sonorous, an echo chamber that is full of enchantment. This new
edition of Browne's two most enduring and beloved works, Religio
Medici, in which he weighs and ponders the relation between his
medical profession and his profession of the Christian faith, and
Urne-Buriall, an exquisite meditation on mortality, has been put
together by the distinguished Renaissance Scholar and bestselling
author of Will in the World, Stephen Greenblatt, and Ramie Targoff.
It includes an extensive introduction and annotations that will
help readers find their way into the extraordinary world of Sir
Thomas Browne.
